Promise SX6000 vs Adaptec 2400A

Thu Nov 8 00:04:44 PST 2001

Hi,

Thanks for the info.

I was wondering whether anyone in the list has experience with either the
Promise or the Adaptec cards and would like to share their experience?
Especially with drivers for the newer kernel.

Thanks,
Kian Chang.

FWIW, someone with a *lot* of interest in big storage systems recently
posted to the linux-ide-arrays list that 3ware have reversed their
decision and will be getting back into the IDE raid card business
(including releasing the 7850 RSN).  A press release is supposed to be
forthcoming.  The Escalade pages are already back up.
