We've been using the 3Ware 7000-series of PATA cards with great success as well. Have even managed to get the 3DM management program running on our FreeBSD 5.4 systems. We've tested the LSI MegaRAID 150-6 SATA card in one FreeBSD 5.4 system with good success, but they are giving us all kinds of grief in our RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 AS (32-bit) and Debian Linux 3.1 (32- and 64-bit) systems. -- Freddie Cash, LPIC-1 CCNT CCLP Helpdesk / Network Support Tech.
