I can't speak for the other manufacturers, but dell have an awful track record when it comes to raid controllers. Steer well clear, or just get a system sans raid controller and by an aftermarket one from a well known manufacturer. Lets put it this way; personally I won't be trusting raid controllers from any large server vendor that ships with their own bastardised firmware again. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
