No More Promises
I will never again buy a RAID Controller card from Promise again! They claimed to support GNU/Linux, and they don’t. They said they didn’t have drivers for Windows 7, and then suddenly they magically appear on their Downloads page. We weren’t even notified.
I’m going to go with mdadm and try my luck with software RAID on Mint. If I must buy another card, for whatever reason (namely software RAID is much too slow, and hardware RAID will offload the work to the card itself) I’ll go with Adaptec.
