[Asterisk-biz] SuperMicro Servers

[Colin Anderson]

Just did a terabyte Raid 5 array last week with a 3ware card under CentOS.
Plugged drives in, defined the array in the BIOS, reboot, stuck in the CD.
Worked first try. 15 min total. I've been doing arrays for 10 years, and
that was *by far* the easiest one I've ever done (and the largest!). I
shudder to think of the horrible Micropolis ones I was doing in '94 - a days
work just to get it configured and formatted.

For IDE raid you have many choices but AFAIK only one is a true hardware
raid 
card and thats 3Ware. 3Ware has good Linux support.

I wouldn't touch anything else now.
