Yes. I have read several horror stores about getting raid controllers

Array Controller have a model number associated with it?

Sorry for my absence. My Grandaughter turned ONE YEAR OLD this weekend,

To answer your question, Charles, I would point you to this write-up I
did some time ago. It involves a 3000 with a 2DH Smart Array
Controller, running Linux:

Take a look and see if this jives with the "horror stories" that you
have heard.
