Compaq RAID on 4.9-RELEASE?
Hi all, We are going to be replacing one of our older systems here with a new HP/Compaq server and want to buy a (cheap) supported hardware raid adapter. Compaq/HP used to be so easy. The system we are looking at has either a Compaq 532 or 641 depending on the processor speed (!). I see the 532 is supported, any word on the 641? Is anyone using either of these two cards and can vouch for the performance/stability?
