0 If you plan on using software raid it would be a nice idea to use a 2.6.x kernel in case you are using a 2.4.x kernel.There is a huge speed diff in data transfer between those 2 kernel versions. I have installed a couple of s150 tx4 and i can say that they work fine.I also noticed that there is support for this controller in the low level driver section(scsi) in 2.4.27 kernel.If this doesnt work out (wich i doubt it)try downloading the driver from promise.com. One thing i dont understand is why buy raid controllers and do software raid(if that is what you ment) > All, > > I am thinking of going with the following SATA PCI controller (non raid) > to replace my 3ware SATA controller (only > using JBOD but thats another story).
