I've also read in several places that the strongarm processor used in the
ExtremeRaid controllers tends to be a bit faster for Raid 5 applications
than the other i960-based cards. I haven't tried the ExtremeRaid myself,
but I am planning to deploy a few on dual PIII-750 mhz departmental
servers (running Linux, of course). They are a bit expensive, but it's
getting hard to keep track of all the software RAID patches. 8-)
Cheers,
Chris
