I recently purchased both a Promise SX6000 and an Adaptec 2400A. Both are ATA RAID controllers as I'm sure most of you know. Anyway, I'd really like to use the Promise card (even though the Adaptec card is supposedly faster) simply for the extra two channels. However, searching all the mailing lists yields very little in the way of information concerning this card. The Adaptec card just seems to work (hell, the manual even includes explicit directions for both FreeBSD and Linux). Promise says no go on either FreeBSD or Linux, but I figured as much. I found a post from last Fall that mentions support being added for the SX6000 (also known as the SuperTRAK) by someone who had received a couple of cards from Promise explicitly for this purpose. Did this ever happen? Is this card supported by the new back-ported ATA subsystem? If so, are they any management tools available?
