oh this is true. all their cards are RAID. duh. i was just thinking performance. but i suppose if the supermicro one is in a pci-x slot and all that it should be good enough. would that supermicro SAS controller be faster in general? i'm wondering about that. can it transparently use SATA drives or do i need connectors, or something weird? i have not yet dealt with SAS. _______________________________________________ storage-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss
