That just means you're using sucky hardware. We've been using h/w controllers for 15 years, and never had a problem. Of course, they are proprietary, and from a Tier 1 vendor, cost a lot of money, and maintenance fees are high. But we've never lost data from a controller failure. (And damned little loss from any other reason, either, since there's a 24x7 admin staff that pays attention to drive failure lights, and replaces them immediately.) - -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA "Working with women is a pain in the a**."
