Tell that to people like EMC and Veritas. They seem to have built
entire business models around hardware RAID..
i only have a onboard promise raid controller with a 33mhz processor.
all i know about veritas is their software raid manager and i dont
know anything about emc.
well your instructions are clear enough. he can use either hardware or
software raid.
