well, the page is useful in that it discusses particular products, but the "fakeraid" stuff is just silly name-calling. there are either real (hardware) raid cards, and there are multiport cards. "fakeraid" just means that there is code in the bios to do software raid 0/1 - not a bad thing in any possible sense, though also of zero value to many people. the prevalence of "fakeraid" simply shows that to be worth doing, hw raid requires a pretty hefty piece of hardware, like the 3ware 9550. older boards that had, for instance, a single pc100 dimm on them were the kiss of death, since just seeing that you knew that they couldn't move more than 10-20 MB/s, much less than a single disk's worth. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
