Has anyone had problems with either? 3Ware. Promise is not really a hardware controller, independend of the OS. 3Ware is. The driver in the OS is just to provide management interface, like notification of a failed disk, etc. 3Ware 7000-2 is $102 at places like www.8anet.com Promise is like $10 cheaper, maybe. > > -- > John Brooks > john@stlbsd.org > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-isp@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-isp > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-isp-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > -- Regards, Ulf. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ulf Zimmermann, 1525 Pacific Ave., Alameda, CA-94501, #: 510-865-0204 You can find my resume at: http://seven.Alameda.net/~ulf/resume.html
