I totally agree. I only tried Vinum once and did not loose any
data (test system) but it was frustrating.

The cost of a 3ware is low enough that I would only consider
Vinum if I read that it has become idiot proof to install it.

I also expect SCSI raid controllers to start coming down in
price to compete with the IDE RAID systems coming out in the
market.
