The 3ware Escalade is a hardware RAID card. You create the array using the 3ware's firmware. The 3ware card then presents the array to Linux (or any OS) as a single SCSI, PATA, or SATA drive. You won't see the individual drives in the OS without software provided by the RAID card's vendor. -- Andrew S. Zbikowski | http://andy.zibnet.us IT Outhouse Blog Thing | http://www.itouthouse.com
