I'm not recommending the AMI controllers at the moment because there's a lockup bug in either the driver or the firmware that I haven't been able to track down (if someone has the time and hardware to play with this, please get in touch with me). I'd be inclined at the moment to recommend the Mylex eXtremeRAID 1100 if you're looking for a high-end controller. > I'm trying to get feedback on the AMI Enterprise and Mylex AcceleRAID > controllers, running under 4.x or (preferably) 3.4.
