The differences is between needing a "special" RAID driver (most of fake harware raids) and a simple SCSI one (like high-end ibm raid controllers: real hardware raid). There is this page telling the differences and more: http://linux.yyz.us/sata/faq-sata-raid.html And btw linux software raid outperforms most fake hardware raid (software ones), so you really no not need an "hardware" raid controller on linux, just a bunch on disks. -- ESC:wq -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
