I'm speccing a budget RAID fileserver, and stumbled across some interesting prospects. This page describes a eight-channel ATA RAID card, the 7506-8: <http://www.3ware.com/products/parallel_ata.asp>; This page says there is support for other cards in this family, but doesn't explicitly cite the 7506-8, and cites some firmwar issues: <http://people.freebsd.org/~msmith/RAID/#3ware>; The manpage for the driver itself seems prety broad: <http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=twe&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+5.2.1-RELEASE>; Can someone explicitly tie these references together? Is the 7506-8 going to cut it? Of course, I'm open to any anti-recommendations WRT this card, as well, so feel free to chuck me any feedback... -- Brian Reichert <reichert@numachi.com> 37 Crystal Ave. #303 Daytime number: (603) 434-6842 Derry NH 03038-1713 USA BSD admin/developer at large
