Agree on the staying away from fake-RAID. One thing I will point out for reference tho, is that not *all* Intel RAID is fakeraid. The onboard RAID built into Intel's ICH family certainly is. However Intel does make a line of RAID controller daughter cards which are rebadged LSI RAID controllers and are in fact true H/W RAID. Easiest way to know is to see if the card supports SAS. If it does, chances are it's a H/W RAID card. -- Drew "Nothing in life is to be feared.
