Hi to all,=20

We have a Fujitsu Siemens Econel 200 Server. 2x Intel Xeon 2.8, 2x SATA =
HDD. Suse 9.1 64 Prof is installed.

At the moment we are using a software raid, but we want to buy 2 more =
HDD's and implement a 0+1 or 1+0 RAID.=20
I looked over and over about raid controllers, have found from 120 =
EURO's  to 1000 EURO's but there seems to be a little problematic the =
Suse 64 driver.=20

A very convenient driver would be the=20
Promise FastTrack S150 TX4 or=20
SX4 controller=20
but I still don't know if the drivers are quite functional.=20

The tx4 seems faster as the sx4 but has no 64 driver.=20

We had in the past some problems with hardware raid controller on suse.=20

Does anyone uses some good raid controllers and could give me some =
informations?=20

Regards,=20
Andy.
