[Techtalk] ATA RAID on Debian

[jennyw]

Just wondering if anyone has positive experiences with hardware RAID on 
Debian.  In particular, I'm looking for something with low complexity in 
terms of recovery ...

I saw a post on Usenet that says Arco IDE has a good driverless solution 
(I've never been entirely sure why HW RAID would require software 
drivers) where the array shows up as an IDE disk.  I've also heard good 
things about 3ware, but haven't heard too much on details (experience 
and installation).

Thanks!

Jen
