I am using a 9500S-12 under SuSe 9.1 32bit. Have not tried the 64bit driver as of yet. But I don't see any issues. But here's a question. What RAID level are you running? I was previously running RAID-5 for all my configurations and have since changed over to a RAID-0 since I back it up.

Hey thanks greg an brad for the replies. I had seen that article already greg, thanks for pointing it out again though. Brad to answer your question on raid level, In my test bench machine where i have been doing my backup testing I'm running raid level 0, i store a lot of stuff on that machine for easy access to me on the network, an its my test bed also. On the server that is being used in production its at raid lever 1 for the redundancy, if one drive fails the server says running til i can replace the failed drive. I now have an older 6000 or 7000 3ware card in the production server, can not remember which one off the top of my head, using raid 1 with 3 drives, the 3rd as a stand drive. I will setup with raid 1 when i get the 3WA-9500S-8 or the 3WA-9500S-8MI card. The 9500s-8 is out of stock with the people we get parts from for another week an half so i might have to wait til then or get the 9500s-8MI. Not sure the difference is between the two or if I will be able to tell a difference in the performance of them. again thanks for the info. jack Thanks jack
