Because if I use software RAID it breaks dual booting... then Windows
is on a single drive and Linux is RAIDed but I can't access the Linux
partition from Windows. So hardware RAID is better in this sense.
Yes... on a Linux-only (mainly servers) system I'll use software RAID
vs the "cheap" integrated RAID but on dual boot systems there is no
other option. And your statement is wrong. Please don't tell me that a
software RAID is better than a 3ware RAID card with its own cache RAM,
backup battery & processor... especially for the more advanced RAID
setups vs basic RAID 0/1.

So I'll ask my question again: What should I look at? What should I
log? Etc, etc... to help you guys get support for this brand-new
chipset? Let's stop arguing over trivial matters and personal
preferences and just work together to make things work.
