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.
Right on target. For a long time I preferred the 3ware controllers
over Mylex, Adaptec and LSI-based products even though they were dead
slow in comparison. Mylex tended to destroy RAID sets if one made a
mistake exchanging dead disks, LSI controllers often forgot their
configuration and only repaired sets if the replacement was made by
adding a new spare to the controller (having a different SCSI id than
the disk that was broken) and activating it and Adaptec... don't make
me cry.
Most of our customers replaced all controllers by ICP GDT
controllers; Adaptec having bought them and _of course_ replacing
them by an inferior (yes, I tried the ARC series) product got me a
bit afraid - I don't care for the price of the equipment but I need
safe mechanisms.
