http://www.highpoint-tech.com/datasheets/RR2220%20datasheet_050430.pdf Anyone know if this is any good under Centos 4.3 ? I see there is a current RHEL 3 and 4 driver. Would that driver survive kernel upgrades, I'm guessing it would being modular ?

Forget this proprietary software raid drivers. Just use the kernel software raid capabilities. There has yet to appear a company that manufactures bios on a chip raid cards that provide adequate or even minimal linux driver support.


(please don't tell me that 3ware is the only make to use, tw_cli is not exactly user friendly).

If you don't like hardware raid then there is nothing else for you.


Anyone using this - http://www.promise.com/product/product_detail_eng.asp?segment=RAID%20HBAs&product_id=147
Promise has never given me any joy under Linux.

Nor has any other bios on a chip raid card manufacturer.

Yes, Promise is supposed to have a few actual hardware raid cards...
