Hi, I have been using multiple Promise cards under RH7.3 (and Win NT4) in boxes with up to 12 IDE drives, with no problems at all.

I am thinking of just replacing it with IDE drives and probably run software RAID 1, but I need to get PCI to ATA controller card. Anyone has any suggestion for card that will just work without any major hassle ? I'm looking at Promise card here: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=16-102-007&catalog =410&manufactory=BROWSE&depa=0 and wondering if people have used it and satisfied (or not ) with it. Another thing I'm considering is to use Serial ATA card and Serial ATA drives instead, because they're faster. Does the kernel, specifically in RH 9 and RHEL 3, support that already? Thanks for any info you can give me. RDB -- Reuben D.
