3ware Escalade IDE RAID controllers
3ware's 5000−series and 6000−series controllers have been supported since kernel 2.2.15. Support for
the 7000−series controllers and RAID5 on the 6000−series controllers requires kernel 2.4.5 or 2.2.20
or better. Also make sure to use a recent firmware for RAID 5, since older firmware revisions (and
older versions of the driver) can cause data corruption when a RAID 5 array runs degraded.
8000−series SATA cards also work fine with recent 2.4.x or 2.6.x kernels. 9000−series cards are
supported with the 3w−9xxx driver (instead of the older 3w−xxxx driver).

Promise SuperTRAK SX6000
6−port ATA/100 controller which supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 1+0, RAID 3, and RAID 5. Use
