[CentOS] Serial ATA hardware raid.

[Michael Weisman]

Just to throw in my 2 cents worth...

I've used both the 3ware 850x SATA raid card and currently have an Adaptec 
2410 SATA raid card. The machines are database servers with fairly large 
databases (75MM records+)

I'm not as deeply technical as many of the others who have responded to this 
issue, but having done no tuning of any sort, both cards perform about the 
same. In addition, neither of them has failed or been a problem.

Like I said, just my 2 cetns worth.
