We have since moved to 3ware hardware raid with better success in
terms of
continuing to provide service through a drive failure event.
Does anyone have any experience with Adaptec RAID controllers? I have an application that will need hot swapping and am considering the Adaptec 1420SA controller but I can use the 3ware if it is indeed better.
Brett
I have 2 systems with the 2820SA cards, and I have had a 2 drive failure on each system. While I can't really find evidence to blame this on the card, I am re-thinking their use in the future. Looking at the current pricing, there is not that much difference in the cards, maybe 10 to 20 percent.
