I have 2 of the 3ware raid cards working on suse boxes, one is the 6410 an the other one is a 7410. Both work with standard suse install. One thing that i have not been able to get working is the management software to monitor the array. I'm not using smp. I have been looking at the adaptec 2400A ide raid card an it looks pretty good an its the hardware raid , it has an on board processor an memory chip. Have talked to adaptec people on this card an they says its supported in both suse 7.3 an 8.0 an the management software is support to work. can not comfirm this, just what they told me on the phone. I'm about to put in an order for this card from one ofmy parts suppliers, If I remember right the price is under $350 from them. hth. jack malone Network Administrator Horizon Industries
