Call me conservative, but I prefer not having to rely on *any* driver for my storage systems. I looked at 3ware and their switching technology looks enticing but I ended up comparing an Infortrend, IFT-6300, a Promise, UltraTrak 8000, and a DynamicNetworkFactory, Datamax 14000. I currently have 2 Datamax units installed and I'm happy with their performance so far. --clark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
