I believe that it is not a hardware raid contoller. I thought it had software on a chip and no processor of its own, it used the main cpu. I believe the escalade series of raid controllers have there own processor on board and dont bog down the main cpu as much. I have a Promise fasttrak 66 and an escalade 6400. I was about to test the new promise raid controller linux drivers. Bill Layer wrote: > Ok, this seems like a dumb one, but I need some opinions.
