I don't believe that is correct. LSI acquired 3ware, and Avago acquired LSI. So, Avago owns the 3ware and LSI technology, but Adaptec and Areca are still competitors. > Whoops, Avago is now Broadcom, a

Hi Valeri, Before you pull a drive you should check to make sure that doing so won't kill the whole array. MegaCli can help you prevent a storage disaster and can let you have more insight into your RAID and the status of the virtual disks and the disks than make up each array. MegaCli will let you see the health and status of each drive. Does it have media errors, is it in predictive

Dear Experts, one of the RAID threads today prompted me ask everybody. Which internal hardware RAID controllers will survive some future to come in your estimate. First of all my beloved 3ware finally seems to have passed away. After multiple acquisitions and becoming part of LSI and getting bought with LSI, it probably became non operational. Namely, the latest 3ware cards have ancient

Yes, and it is worth every dollar it costs. All good RAID cards will be on the same price level. Those cheaper ones I will not let into our stables (don't

Is anyone running either the newish Adaptec 5805 or the new LSI (3ware) 9750 sas raid controllers in a production environment with Centos 5.3/5.4? The low price of these cards makes me suspicious, compared to the more expensive pre-merger 3ware cards and considerably more expensive Areca ARC-1680. I've been 'burned' by the low cost of Promise raid cards (just as this group pointed

Hi, To follow up my CentOS 4.0/Areca SATA RAID driver disk I created a month or two ago, I have now created kernel-module-arcmsr RPMs containing just the kernel module to track the kernel updates. This means: a) No need to patch, rebuild and maintain customised kernels for Areca support b) Keep everything maintained with RPM I've taken the latest 1.20.00.07 kernel driver source as found in

Hi, To satisfy my own requirements, I''ve created a driver disk for the Areca SATA RAID controllers[0]. It currently contains the 1.20.00.06 driver built for the x86_64 SMP and non-SMP kernels, but should be fairly straightforward to add the driver built for 32-bit x86 kernels as well. You can find the driver disk and instructions here: http://www.bodgit-n-scarper.com/code.html#centos
