I have now looked a little at the 3ware-cards but of what I can find |
| 2 |
they only makes raidcards and I only wanted a controllercard to get the |
| 3 |
possebillity to attach more discs but I want to handle the raid myself |
| 4 |
with software raid. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
If I am mistaken then please correct me. |

The reasons for handling the taid myself is first of all a |
| 9 |
money-issue... and the second reason is that I like the feeling |
| 10 |
(illusioned or real) that I am in controle... I had som bad history with |
| 11 |
a ide-raidcard so now I do software-raid on all my servers and I'm |
| 12 |
really happy with it. |
