Title: What hardware raid is supported?
Post by: stian on October 06, 2006, 06:44:41 PM

What hardware sata raid card should I buy? That is supported by SmeServer and have drivers included in the installer? Im going to buy now and want something that I don`t need to tweak myself to get working.. :-) One with place for 6 disks.

Does anyone have a link or something to supported hardware raids? I`m not lazy but I don`t want any problem when the kernel is updated f.ex... Please help me out here..

Generally speaking hardware that is compatible with Centos 4.3 is supported. Check hcl lists for Centos or RHEL.

I use 2 x 3ware 8508 (16 SATA drives in one box) and  sme7 installed without any issues.

But, more recently, I have built a 6 x SATA software raid SME, and this performs better than the hardware raid.
