ich7 is software raid in disguise. If you want hardware raid buy a true hardware raid card. There are many cards that are also software raid cards in disguise.

The list can inform you of others real hardware raid cards if you want more options. ricardo oliveira wrote: > Hi: > > I've tried to install centos 4.3 in a raid array, setuped on bios as > mode "Adaptec".
