Hi all, I looked through a bunch of the archives and never found my answer. What I'm wondering is if it's possible to use two 4-port 3ware 7410's to look (kind of) like a 7810. My first impression is that this won't work, particularly for raid5, without using the linux md stuff, with the 3ware cards in jbod mode...
Am I wrong?
No each card is independent.
Or is there some cool way to make hw raid5 work across two controllers?
You can throw a software raid array on top to make the 2 raid 5 array into a single device. You will be losing an addition drive to partity.
