The OP said any driver, and I pointed out that isn't true. Trying to have users tell the difference between software raid drivers and hardware raid drivers is, I think, harder than just having them tell software vs. hardware raid controllers apart. After all, the latter can be done with a high confidence by looking at the price tag. > 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. Linux software raid has a lot of advantages like being able to configure on a per-partition, not per-disk, basis. Many true hardware raids can't even do that. However, I haven't actually seen benchmarks showing its faster. I'm not sure how you'd benchmark it, either... You'd have a lot of windows-vs-linux differences to filter out somehow. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
