I have many boxes deployed with 3ware cards. My news server for example has been pounding a series of RAID0 stripes on 2 controllers for some time now. (In bound feed is 25Mb/s+) I also have a lot of remote RAID1 boxes and have had the "fortune" of doing replacements of dead drives. Each time, all has worked as expected on FreeBSD. Performance on the RAID1 drives is very good as well in terms of read (it seems to make intelligent use of both drives on reads) and write operations. Note, this is only on the 5400 and 6400 series. I have only used one 7xxx series card. ---Mike On Tue, 30 Apr 2002 14:54:56 -0700 (PDT), in sentex.lists.freebsd.hardware you wrote: >I've been using the Adaptec 2100S and the 3200S and have been running in >to bizarre issues when it's necessary to hot-swap a drive (for example, >removing a drive, zapping a new one (in another spot), and putting it back >in where the failed drive was, causes the entire RAID1 to be inaccessable >- the card isn't abstracting enough.)
