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'. |
