+ Preston Hagar <[email protected]>:
I have had too many headaches with hardware RAID failues (with PERC
cards, Areaca cards, 3ware cards, and Adaptec cards) to really go
through the stress anymore. If I have one of those cards, I will
typically just use it as pass-through/JBOD and then do software RAID,
although that can even present a problem.
Again though, most of my setups are small business, with a handful of
servers, not large setups, so I could see it being different for a large
business.
I also mostly deal with small businesses and I typically always go for
a linux software RAID when I can. I've mostly used a hardware RAID
card with pass-through as you mentioned, but from your comments it
seems that you use something else if given the choice?
As a general question, when there aren't enough SATA ports on the
motherboard, what hardware do people generally use when setting up a
software RAID in a server?
