ich7 is software raid in disguise. If you want hardware raid buy a true
hardware raid card. There are many cards that are also software raid
cards in disguise. Stick with areca, 3ware are the two most well known
true hardware raid cards. LIS logic has some but i am not familiar with
them. The list can inform you of others real hardware raid cards if you
want more options.

Hi:
I've tried to install centos 4.3 in a raid array, setuped on bios as
mode "Adaptec". The chip is ICH7R but centos always sees 2 drives
instead of the array that I create.
I've contacted Supermicro support and they gave me this link
ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/driver/SATA/Adaptec_ICH7R/Linux/Redhat/ , but
the disk drivers I tried to use with centos 4.3 did not work, saying
that the disk did not containt appropriate drivers for the hardware.
Have anyone here had similar problems? does centos 4.4 solves this issue?
I really need to install centos as an array... and as hardware RAID
and not software RAID.
Best Regards,
Ricardo
