hi misc,
i'm looking to purchase a sata raid controller, and have shortlisted
it down to two models for no particular reason other than the
controllers being supported by openbsd, being 'afordable',compatible
with the equipment i already have and available in a third world
country. the two options i have is the intel srcs16 and the lsi
megaraid sata-6, is there a clear winner between the two with regards
to using it on openbsd - the array will be used for the archiving
'valuable' data.
The intel board is basically a rebadged lsi board. make your choice
based on warranty and price.
Nope, I would say make your choice based on witch company actually
respect your as a customers and Intel is simply not it!
Didn't you see the tread on misc@ lately!
Why don't you make your choice known to Intel as well now is a good time
as ever.
If you really care about your choice of OS here you say OpenBSD, then
make your voice eared with your money!
If you don't make your voice count with your wallet, why should company
listen then?
Sometime company understand that much better then anything else!
