1000 EUR?

I've been doing some digging... Seems like ALL Adaptec SATA and SAS
RAID (or not RAID) controllers make use of Adaptec's own
closed-source drivers.. *sigh*
They provide a "SHIM" kit for users to be able to build a driver for
their running kernel, but IMHO that sucks bigtime.. Then I need to
bust my ass every time there's a kernel update available.
I will have to second the votes for using 3ware. Suse has the drivers
built into the system for 3ware raid cards. I have used both ide an
sata raid cards from them with no problems here at work an home. they
work like a charm out of the box for me so far. I just do a clean
install on a system that I insert the card into an they are seen an
recognized with no problems at all. I use both raid 0 an 10 here with the.
