I'm another satisfied 3ware user. I'm up to about 25 systems with cards in them.
tw_cli is very scriptable for monitoring (see my post from yesterday :))
I need a SATA RAID PCI card that works well with CentOS and is fully
supported. Mandatory features:
- works with the drivers already in the kernel, no additional drivers
- can do RAID 0, 1 and 5
- hotswap
- allows to monitor the status of the array and of each individual drive
via a script (ideally run from cron)
- works with very large SATA drives
Nice to have features but not mandatory:
- small battery to keep the array alive until the write buffers are
flushed after a power loss
Anyone having positive experience with SATA RAID, please comment.
