Thanks! Is this a function of the card, as opposed to the chip used?
I believe it's the chip, but it's entirely possible they are
implemented in different ways on different cards...
Addonics cards work well, you can get them at acquire.co.nz
No you can't, not with absolutely 0 stock...
We buy them at work relatively often and they always ship within a
couple of days, so I'm not sure where they're getting them but they
seem to be in NZ somewhere...
Thanks for the tip though, but almost 3x the price is a tad annoying.
Which models do you have hotswap experience with?
The 4-port SATA-II RAID PCI one (although we don't use the RAID
function). However my colleague has used several other Silicon Image
chipset cards and they all seem to work (they all seem to use the same
driver, so not surprising)
Cheers
