Just curious. I have used and tried the following DAC960 PB,PL Megaraid 466, 1428 3ware 2 and 4 port UDMA 33 series cards Just about to test and compare the same Atlas IV drives (QUANTUM ATLAS IV 9 WLS 0B0B) usings a 2940U2 (aic7890/91) with vinum. I will post the results with the same three SCSI drives in the various adaptors in RAID5 (3 drive config) when done. ---Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mike Tancsa, tel +1 519 651 3400 Sentex Communications mike@sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada www.sentex.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
