Hi all,

We need a few 2 channel raid controllers that are kernel supported by OpenSUSE 10.2 / 10.3 / SLES 10 SP2. We have some 4 channel 3Ware 8506 controllers working with SLES 10 SP2; they are supported by default by SLES 10 SP2. They are not available any more.

3Ware has a 8006-2LP 2 channel Raid. Has anyone used it with SLES 10 SP2 or OpenSUSE 10.2/3? It has source according to http://www.3ware.com/support/OS-support.asp. Has anyone tried it yet? Any info will be appreciated.

Has anyone got alternatives like Adaptec, or some cheaper manufacturer than 3Ware?

TIA

If you can live with software raid, I have had great luck with the promise sata300 tx4 pci (4 port) ~ $60. I have used them with opensuse 10.3 and 11.0 with _zero_ problems. I don't know about whether the kernel module used has been incorporated into the kernel yet. I just know you plug it in, attach the cables throw the install dvd in and install as usual with nothing extra required. Just google the name for the best prices. I think newegg is ~$66 but you can find it for less than 60. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
