RE: [PLUG] IDE PCI cards Linux support?


Title: RE: [PLUG] IDE PCI cards Linux support?

I did a little leg work and found a nice list of RAID IDE Controllers compatible with Linux:

Hope this helps.

it would probably be easiest if you had (3) PCI IDE cards,
hooked up 2 drives to each card. Then use the software RAID.

That would be the cheapest way.

Can (3) IDE cards be installed? I've never installed more than 1
