Someone posted this link about Sil0680 in this group. Notice
how the guy in this thread, does a lot of experiments with
his RAID array and learns how to use it. Trying all sorts
of things, before there is valuable data on the array, will
pay off later. (BTW - the Sil0680 is just about the worst
controller there is - it is actually not a hardware RAID,
but relies on firmware/software to make it go. Slow as
molasses, and the silicon chip is "as old as the hills" :-)
The chip was designed when the company was called CMD, then
Siimage bought the company, and has been flogging the 0680
ever since.)
