anyone have any opinions about the adaptec 2400 (ATA) or 2410 (SATA)? they have driver support in 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernels - no idea how good, though. unlike the 3ware cards (or any other IDE/SATA raid cards i've heard of), they do have a large (128MB) write-cache - which is essential for raid-5 performance. craig -- craig sanders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The next time you vote, remember that "Regime change begins at home"
