How do you like the 7410? > What RAID configuration are you running? It's the 3w-xxxx kernel module. It seems to be standard in the 2.4.x series kernels, I didn't have to do any compiling to get it to work. I don't know what kernel the SuSE distros use though. The 7410 works nicely. I only planned to do RAID1, so I didn't go for the extra cache 7450. The only thing I don't like about it so far is the RAID manager tool that you get from 3ware has a really terribly installation script (let's figure out which distro I'm running on based on the kernel version I'm running... yeah! ) So I haven't installed it yet. It's also looking like they only have a GUI tool, which means it'll be difficult getting a monitor setup to watch for failed disks. :( -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "I hear you collect plants.
