So far they've had what I've needed in stock and at reasonable prices. I've never had any problems with FreeBSD 4.x on these cards and get very fast, reliable HD performance. http://www.hypermicro.com/store/raid_adap.htm Steve -----Original Message----- From: Antony Mawer [mailto:ajmawer@optusnet.com.au] Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 11:51 PM To: sbernard@gmu.edu Cc: freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: IDE RAID controlers od FreeBSD Steve Bernard wrote: > If you haven't bought anything yet, get 3Ware Escalades.

I've looked around and I've yet to find anyone who stocks/sells the cards... I suppose I could order from overseas if it came down to that, but it's just so much easier when you have a local supplier you can go and bitch to if something goes wrong with the hardware! :-) -Antony To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
