On Thu, Jan 12, 2006 at 02:44:59PM +0100 I heard the voice of Raphael H. Becker, and lo! it spake thus: Note that this: > 3ware: > * 3ware Raid Controller Escalade 8006-2LP, 2 Channels, about 130-150 EUR is a "real" hardware RAID controller, while I'm pretty sure that this: > highpoint: > * RAID S-ATA Highpoint Rocketraid 1640, 4 Channels, ca 100 EUR is a more "software"-ish (I think the xxxxA Highpoints are the hardware-ish ones). Not that that's necessarily good or bad either way; just a point. > Any experience with theese controllers? Any other > manufacturers/models in the range between 100 and 200EUR for 2 > disks? > PS: 100 EUR = 121.26 USD Well, I've got a server running on a Promise (TX2200, maybe?) 2-port SATA, which cost me about US$50. It's software-ish, but pretty well supported. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
