Not in my experience. I use the 3ware cards on FreeBSD, Linux, NT4 and Win2K. In terms of my satisfaction, its FreeBSD, Linux a close second, win2k and NT4 a distant 3 and 4. I have deployed dozens of FreeBSD boxes in RAID0, 1 and 10 and have had super reliability. I have 4 LINUX boxes running with the card as well, and generally I am happy with it as well. Performance on the *SAME* hardware was better under FreeBSD. On Win2k it seems 80% of the time, a simple reboot makes the controller think the drives are degraded and its time to rebuild etc... ---Mike Mike Tancsa (mdtancsa@sentex.net) Sentex Communications Corp, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada "Given enough time, 100 monkeys on 100 routers could setup a national IP network."
