What MegaRAID cards don't work for sure (I know the Enterprise 1500 is currently in this category)? Basically, as you suggested, I decided to commit to the MegaRAID card for a production server, but I'm totally lost on which card to order. The MegaRAID Express 300 is a card that I'm considering. BTW, AMI has a cool buy one, get one free deal going on at http://www.ami.com right now. I'd like to take advantage of this offer, and get a bunch of cards. > -- > \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith > \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org > \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com > Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
