Thanks, > ./danfe Hi, I'm going to guess due to lack of upstream (abandoned) support as 3ware was= absorbed by Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (AMCC) and later by Avago/B= roadcom. The latest series released hardware seems to be 9750's which were = released in 2009 or possibly early 2010. According to Google the CLI utilit= es seems to be non functional more or less across all recent platforms/OSes= (I can't verify as I don't have the hardware) and most forum posts seems t= o suggest that performance overall (by todays standards) are poor at best e= ven with spinning rust. The general consensus seems to be move on to LSI SA= S2**** (legacy by now) or newer solutions looking at a few posts at random = forums. Best regards, Daniel
