Hi!

    I don't know specifically about the Promise VTrack M300i, but i have 
a couple of my clients running Promise VTrak 15100:  it's not very fast 
and the management software is not very good (we had and still have a 
lot of problem with the software).  The Linux support is very bad (at 
least for the VTrak 15100).

Did you have a look at Intel® Storage System SSR212CC?  Somebody in this 
list ever used Intel storage products?
