Tom,
The ServeRAID 8k s a real hardware raid controller, is has 256 MB of cache I think and a battery backup. So in this case there is no need for a 3ware controller. On the IBM website you can also find a commandline tool (called arcconf) that allows you monitor and configure the controller inside Linux.
Is there a place where this kind of thing is documented? I looked through Google for about 3 hrs yesterday and I could not find anything definitive.
Thank You, for the info.
I hate to be the stater of the obvious... but doesn't IBM's website provide product specs along with a compatibility guide?
