They got a quote from a vendor who wants to sell them a Compaq Proliant ML310 with two 40G ATA100 drives on a controller which does RAID 1 in hardware. I looked at the supported hardware list on freebsd.org to see whether the integrated ATA RAID controller in a Compaq ML310 is supported by FreeBSD. I see no mention of it, but I am not giving up yet. I have not found any information on Compaq's web site as to what chipset or manufacturer Compaq uses to implement this ATA RAID control- ler. Any leads as to the technical info of the controller chipset, and the degree of compatibility with any existing (or forthcoming) FreeBSD drivers would be appreciated. What I have found is the name of the driver, "MegaIDE," and some various links to RedHat-ish tech support articles, such as: http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/15976.html If anyone is anyone running an ML310 with the integrated ATA RAID, I'd be grateful to know what device it uses, and any installation considera- tions arise from use of the integrated ATA RAID.
