I want a real hardware RAID, not just a label. So far, I've seen 3ware and Adaptec have some boards that seem to be supported. Now the question is, will any of these work in a non-intel machine? If I configure the array on a PC, will it still be accessible on an Alpha machine? What about status monitoring? Do those cards support standard things, like SMART? I happen to have an Alpha machine with 64-bit PCI, so it would make a nice file server with one of those cards. I've tried mailing 3ware, but they don't seem to reply. -- Måns Rullgård mru@users.sf.net
