Oh... right.. I think we did have to add the drivers seperately for the 9650. 95xx should be "out of the box".

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.
3ware. Period. 9550/9590 will do everything you want. 9650 gets you RAID6, but I'm not sure the distro provided drivers have caught up yet.
