I had to use it only once on FreeBSD, but several times on Win2K. The drivers on Win2k *seem* to be less stable that the FreeBSD version. At least I have had sets go bad far more often on Win2K than on FreeBSD. Actually, the only time it went bad on FreeBSD was due to a bad hard drive. Its difficult to say whether its the OS or the drivers in the MS case. But in terms of my FreeBSD experience (and LINUX for that matter) it has been excellent in RAID 0,1 and 10. I use 2 RAID 0 sets for 120G of news spool and the drives,driver and card get the crap beaten out of them every day. Havent tried out RAID 5 yet. ---Mike -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Tancsa, tel +1 519 651 3400 Network Administration, mike@sentex.net Sentex Communications www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada www.sentex.net/mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
