Unfortunately, they are the Ferarri of the hardware RAID cards.
Compare an ExtremeRAID card against anything from DPT or ICP-Vortex.
There is no comparison. I'm not sure if it's poor hardware design
or just brilliant driver design by Leonard Zubkof, but the Mylex
cards are the performance king for hardware RAID under Linux (and
Windows NT/2K for that matter).
