Did you ever have to replace a failed drive? You might try it, just
to see if you're still happy afterwards.
Thats one thing I must say about 3ware that I really like. I have been
using the cards for years now and have not had issues when it came to
swapping out dead drives. I havent had the opportunity to do it with
the ARECA yet in production to see how it works, only as a test.
Just as another note for those searching the archives, I buy nearly only
Dell servers (1850's and 2850's these days), and I typically do RAID1 in
them, and occasionally RAID5. They are plenty fast to support the RAID1
and RAID5 with the local disks, but any real high performance data
storage I connect via Fibre channel array built as a 16 disk RAID0+1 (or
RAID10 depending who you ask). Changing out dead drives (or even live
ones) has never been an issue.
