I'm looking to add a sata raid controller to my server, give it a terabyte of HDs and make a myth backend. I'm having trouble determining if this raid block is compatible with linux. Does anyone have any experience with this item?
This is just an SATA backplane and so it shouldn't have any compatibility issues. If you want to do raid, you will still need a raid card to connect to the disks in this enclosure. You will need to check the compatibility of the raid card. The best ones are made by 3ware. There was an extended conversation about them on this list a while back. Check the archives if you're interested.
