Hmmm, can't say something about 3ware, but i've tried to get a technical documentation from LSI on how to program their I2O controller series to create or remove an RAID array, and the answer i became back (after a lot of e-mails) was: > Unfortunately that is not supported. AFAIK the managament tool from LSI isn't open source, and there is no documentation... In oposite to that i've got the spec and the tool from Adaptec...
