Is anyone running either the newish Adaptec 5805 or the new LSI (3ware) 9750 sas raid controllers in a production environment with Centos 5.3/5.4? The low price of these cards makes me suspicious, compared to the more expensive pre-merger 3ware cards and considerably more expensive Areca ARC-1680. I've been 'burned' by the low cost of Promise raid cards (just as this group pointed out, they're crap cards!), but I'm still not convinced that most expensive == best. When it comes to parallel scsi cards, Adaptec has always been my choice regardless of platform, but I've never used their serial scsi products. I have several older pre-merger 3ware cards installed and have been working flawlessly for years, but under a windows environment. I noticed none of these manufacturers are listed on the upstream provider's HCL, yet they all eagerly claim "Linux" support on their respective websites.. The Adapetc website actually names both Centos and the upstream provider as 'supported'. Kind Regards, Gordon -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
