Thanks. I already have an infrastructure built around aaccli, automated alerts, and training, etc. I am sort of wedded to PERC/aac/adaptec/etc. I just want to make sure that the 2820sa is just as nicely working and supported as any other PERC/aac, and that raid-6 support is accessed and used through the BIOS just like any other raid configuration on any other aac card... Can someone confirm that ?
