Hi Gregory,

No. The Adaptec aac driver from their website is what I prefer in this case.

Check with Adaptec directly.

Do you know if the aac driver in a8 works with the 1405? A7 didn't connect the 
driver to the card even though the pci id was in the driver list.

I posted a little bit back asking about this on the n40l I built.

Thanks
Greg

Hi Grant,

The Adaptec aac driver in oi_151a8 supports up to the Adaptec 6xxx series.
The Adaptec 71605H works fine. My client has it in their video stream server.

I built it using AACRAID driver 7.2.0.30261.

Noted but that's from 09-10, I haven't had any problems with the 5800 series or 
the current 7 series (on linux). I can probably dig up a story about most 
manufacturers and someone's bad experience with them. I am not saying the 
details of that story aren't pretty terrible though =). I am running 2 of the 
24 port cards in a system with 48 ssds and performance is wonderful, I would 
just prefer to come back to OI from ubuntu when possible.

Adaptec aren't exactly renowned for their reliability:
