I haven't worked with the SX6000 specifically, but in my testing I found the Promise and the Highpoint cards to be erratic during drive failures. The data was safe but it was not difficult to induce a system lockup by disabling one of the drives in a raid1 configuration. I went with a 3ware card (hypermicro.com is a good vendor) which I found to be nearly bulletproof. -- ________________________________________________________________________ |David McNett |To ensure privacy and data integrity this message has| |nugget@slacker.com|been encrypted using dual rounds of ROT-13 encryption| |Austin, TX USA |PGP/GPG DH 0xE43C5FC3 http://www.slacker.com/~nugget/|
