I find myself clueless about the state of hardware again. It used to be that I recommended 3ware RAID controllers because: 1. they had good Linux drivers built into the kernel 2. they were reliable 3. they had a really good management tool suite under Linux However, it looks like 3ware has abandoned the low-end RAID market and the cheapest controller of theirs which I find on Newegg is ~$440. Gone are the days of $120 2-port controllers for desktop use. Does anyone have a recommendation for a hardware RAID controller to mirror drives for a desktop Linux box? I really don't want to go back to the days of software RAID. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com
