Not quite true. The *ONLY* *TRUE* hardware IDE RAID: http://www.3ware.com When they do comparisons against other RAID manufacturers, they compare to SCSI RAID, because the other "IDE RAID" manufacturers simply do not even come close. If you are using HighPoint or Promise or any of those other "IDE RAID" chipsets, you are *NOT* using hardware RAID, no matter what they claim. Having said that, Adaptec seems to have a card that is similar to the 3Ware card, but I've no experience with it. >SCSI is very well supported because >it does not rely upon device drivers. Linux does require device drivers to access the special scsi hardware. Most kernels come with IDE precompiled in, but not SCSI. Blue skies...
