Improve your data protection with Intel's most advanced, high-performance RAID controller, the Intel RAID Controller SRCU32. The RAID Controller SRCU32 is a high-performance dual-channel Ultra160 SCSI-based RAID solution built with the new Intel I/O 80303 processor. The Intel RAID Controller SRCU32 provides you with the opportunity to offer your customers a RAID solution with a more robust set of hardware and software features, increased data protection, and improved system-level availability and reliability. To meet the requirements of a high-end RAID solution, the two-channel RAID Controller SRCU32 provides the throughput of Ultra160 SCSI at 160MB/second per channel; support for RAID levels 0, 1, 4, 5, and 10; a 64-bit/66 MHz PCI 2.2 interface; PCI Hot Plug support; and configurable memory support for up to 256MB of unbuffered PC133 ECC SDRAM memory. The RAID Controller SRCU32 also offers status LEDs and acoustic alarms to assist configuration and monitoring during RAID initialization.

We have been using AMI(LSI)'s Raid card for quite a while. This time I want to try something else, so Intel was on top of the list, and I was lucky to find it @Amazon.com. The card is relatively big, but one of the problems is that unlike AMI/LSI's solution, it won't share IRQ with some card, so I have to move around the card in order to let it work. Another disappointment is the performance is about 15% less than the AMi/LSi's solution, and that is you set the strip size to max(128k), other than this size the performance will degrade dramatically.

Quote of the Day:


A priest asked: What is Fate, Master?

	And the Master answered:

	It is that which gives a beast of burden its reason for existence.

It is that which men in former times had to bear upon their backs.

	It is that which has caused nations to build byways from City

to City upon which carts and coaches pass, and alongside which inns

have come to be built to stave off Hunger, Thirst and Weariness.

	And that is Fate?  said the priest.

	Fate... I thought you said Freight, responded the Master.

	That's all right, said the priest.  I wanted to know

what Freight was too.
