hello list, |
2 |
|
3 |
the time has come for me to put together some new Gentoo servers, and |
4 |
I was wondering: |
5 |
|
6 |
1. Has anyone gotten a chance to test out an Areca SATA RAID card under |
7 |
Gentoo? |
8 |
2. If so, where did you buy it? I can't seem to locate any distributors |
9 |
in the US. |
10 |
- I located one in the UK, but $121 for shipping is a bit much |
11 |
3. Is there a marked performance improvement over 3ware or Megaraid |
12 |
controllers? |
13 |
- I did read the reviews on Tom's Hardware and Tweakers.net - I'd like |
14 |
real, end-user feedback |
15 |
4. Are you doing RAID-5 or RAID-6 on the Areca? |
16 |
|
17 |
kind of a long shot, but I'm curious to hear anything before I start |
18 |
placing orders for more 3ware cards. which are great, but I'm always |
19 |
looking to squeeze more performance and space out of my hardware. :) |
20 |
|
21 |
RAID-6 would be very cool. it pains me a little to lose space in favor |
22 |
of fault tolerance with RAID-10. |

Here's your problem. Someone set this thing to 'evil'. |
