Especially if it is the "trick BIOS" FastTrak. Even the SuperTrak is not _that_ good compared to the Adaptec 2400A or the 3Ware Escaldes -- at least according to StorageReview.COM. The only time I've seen people having problems with 3Ware cards has been when they change the default block size, use RAID-5 (which has slow write performance anyway) or load older run-time monitoring software while running with newer drivers and/or firmware. -- TheBS -- Bryan "TheBS" Smith mailto:b.j.smith@xxxxxxxx chat:thebs413 Engineer AbsoluteValue Systems, Inc. http://www.linux-wlan.org President SmithConcepts, Inc. http://www.SmithConcepts.com |
