LSI Logic (MegaRAID)

LSI Logic (http://www.lsilogic.com) sells a variety of SCSI and ATA RAID controllers, all of which are directly supported by Linux. I evaluated both the Elite 1650, a dual-channel SCSI controller, and the MegaRAID i4, a quad-channel ATA controller. Working with these controllers is identical, except for some hard disk-specific configuration options. So the information in this section applies to both the ATA and the SCSI controllers.

Like some of the Adaptec controllers, LSI Logic RAID controllers have also shipped as OEM products with Dell systems. If you have a Dell system with a branded LSI Logic controller, you might want to take a look at Matt Domsch’s page on the subject: http://www.domsch.com/linux/.
