Is the P411 a fake raid?
no, its a seriously fast pci-e SAS2 hardware raid. the physical devices don't show at all. it has 1GB of writeback cache thats backed by flash with a supercap, instead of the traditional battery that dies in 3 years.
Indeed, nice specs. How much does it cost...?
I didn't have to install any special drivers to use it, C6 just saw it as-is, /dev/sda
Guess this new ctrl does not use the cciss module anymore.
Thx, JD
