Hi SSL, I just purchased 4 new 1TB SATA drives, and attempted to upgrade my RAID 5 system to 3 TB. however my Dell CERC 6 channel SATA RAID card will only let me build a RAID volume up to 2 TB.
I couldn't find any firmware upgrades on this horribly supported el-cheepo raid card. At least its been a solid work horse, with little problems aside from a horrible UI utility called afacli. I am looking for a hardware RAID card, PCI-X (100MHz), that has an fairly easy to use UI that is well supported in Linux. It should also take advantage of ALL my drive space for an expected volume of a little under 3TB. Any suggestions? I would like to not spend $550 on an fancy 3ware card either. Anything in the $100 range? Thanks, Ryan -- +-----------------------------+ | [email protected] | | http://www.the-summit.net | +-----------------------------+
