I''m going to ditch the Adaptec controller and get this LSI one: http://www.lsilogic.com/products/megaraid/scsi_320_1lp.html Does anyone else run this and have an opinion about it? We''re going to run it with 6 SCSI drives in a RAID 10 configuration for our new database server. Thanks, Ajay
I am using 10 Adaptec 2200S controllers all do well with LATEST firmware and LATEST 2.6 RHELAS4 or CENTOS4 kernel... the adaptec management software craps out though on this newer combination ..... I have over 50 LSI megaraid 320 cards which are working equally well and the software seems to always work... If I had a choice I would go with the LSI based purely on the fact that the management software has always worked no matter which OS/kernel I use.... ... thanks - doug ************************************************************************ Doug Zeman \ \ | __ \ ____ | Phone: 408 7747674 CAD Sys Eng II / \ | _/ | | | | Cell : 408 7187466 CA MicroProc Div ____ \ | | | | | | Fax : 408 7747811 Sunnyvale, CA _/ _\_| _| _____/ ____/ \| doug.zeman@amd.com ************************************************************************ Ajay Sharma wrote:> > I''m going to ditch the Adaptec controller and get this LSI one: > > http://www.lsilogic.com/products/megaraid/scsi_320_1lp.html > > Does anyone else run this and have an opinion about it?

However on one array the management daemon falsely reports no response from both the hotspare drives. The hotspares work fine, however. We''ve also used the ICP Vortex GDT8524RZ+ and have been happy with it. For small/basic RAID setups, we''ve used a lot of Mylex AcceleRAID 170 RAID controllers and they''ve been reliable, although the management tools are minimal. --- Jesse <j@lumiere.net>
