We have a few storage servers that are serial based that we sell where I work (Pogo Linux). We will _only_ use the 3ware SATA controllers. The controller itself uses the same driver that the parallel card does, so needless to say there is 0 work needed to be done to install/use these cards. SATA is really neat for hotswap, and there is a _slight_ performance bump as well. My personal opinion though is that unless you want hotswap, or a cooler case (SATA takes less power, so they run cooler) then SATA isn't really usefull, given the higher cost, lower capacity, and the problems with the connectivity. -- Jesse Keating RHCE MCSE http://geek.j2solutions.net Mondo DevTeam (www.mondorescue.org) Was I helpful?
