I'm using a Highpoint RocketRAID 1540 without any problems. There
have been reports on this list from others having strange problems
with Rocket 1540 (no fakeraid) cards. <snip>
Yup - that was me. The basic Rocket (not RocketRAID) 1540 card gave me /very/ serious problems with Linux. Really - don't play with it. I managed to get mine RMA'd, but... blech.
The Promise TX4 SATA150, on the other hand, has been nothing but a pleasure to
work with. It's been recommended by many on this list in the past, and I will
now recommend it to you. Yes, it's more expensive, but you get what you pay
for.
I have wondered whether I'd have been better off with 2x Promise TX2s?
I don't know where the bottleneck is with 4xSATA disks on a single Promise/PCI slot
Or is it a single pci bus in which case the TX4 is fine?
