They're a rebranded LSI thing. I've got some in my database servers. They seem to work, have not given me any trouble, and feel fast enough. On linux, their drivers are pretty new, so depending on what you're doing you might have to have fun.
Managing them seems easiest with the LSI MegaCLI tool, which is a little arcane and probably not packaged for your OS, but does seem to work. The main complain I've read online is that their performance doesn't compare to other raid cards. I haven't run that test, we went with them because our needs are relatively low, and these were cheap and convenient. It's been fine so far. seph Doug Hughes <d...@will.to> writes: > Any opinions on Dell Perc H700i vs other options? We're quoting out some > options.
