Re: More on SATA cards

[Manon Goo <manon_(_at_)_manon_(_dot_)_de>]

I have very good expiriences with the icp-vortex cards
I am using 
<http://www.icp-vortex.com/english/product/pci/rz_sata/8546rz_e.htm>

The only problem is that the online utility is only available forlinux and 
freebsd
(<http://www.icp-vortex.com/ftp/download/rz_neu/freebsd/drivers/readme.txt> 
) so you
haveto shutdown openbsd for raid mainiatnace ....
anyway running a RAID1 or a raid 5 + Hostspare will rebuild on failture. I 
would recomed
Having at least 3 SATA Drives on an raid 1 if you cannot maintain the raid 
online.
