I had a really hard time with them when trying to troubleshoot issues
with the 2895 board and the Highpoint Rocketraid 2224. Highpoint
would email me replies within the hour and returned a few phone
calls. Emails and phone calls to Tyan went unanswered for about 10
days at which point I got an extremely unhelpful canned email
response (install the latest firmware and try again). I won't be
buying any additional Tyan boards and sent all but 2 of that batch
back (I'd deployed 2 as desktops while waiting for answers from Tyan
and was too lazy to swap them out).
Back in the 1990-1998 era, I used lots and lots of Tyan tomcat boards
and was happy with support. So perhaps they are dropping (or have
dropped) the ball.
:(
Where else can one go for solid, high I/O whitebox motherboards that
support AMD processors?
I'm pretty happy with our latest batch of Supermicro rackmounts. When I
get to work, I'll pop the lid off one and check the board model #. With
a 3ware 9550 and 8 x 500gig and 8 x 750gig barracudas, I was able to get
several hundred mb/sec disk I/O according to bonnie++. I think I posted
the numbers to the list a while back.
Cheers,
