I am interested in finding a hardware RAID solution for OSX Server. I have already ordered my Server 10 software, and have a G4 waiting for it, but I would like to have a hardware based RAID 1 system.

I am also putting together a PC (Win2k) server that uses two 3ware cardes so it can hold 16 IDE drives. (Yes I found a 4u rack case with 16 hot swapable drive bays!!) Anyhow, I find it a bit sad that I cant find one single HARDWARE raid card for OSX....

Seeing how SoftRAID support for OS X is July/Aug I'm doubtful any hardware solution will come sooner.

I would think that hardware support would be easyer, as the hardware has been around for a while...

Any card that is bootable under 9 would work under X...

Has anyone had any success getting a hardware RAID up and running on OS X Server 10?

If so, do you have any benchmarks you can post?
