We tried installing a RAID1 card in one of our RaQ3s and it did not work.
There were a whole bunch of error messages regarding the hard drive in the
logs.
About an hour after putting it in the Raq3  it went 'dead' for about 4
hours(unpingable) before
we ripped out the card. Our colo place said they tested it and it worked
fine
on another RaQ3. Please tell us how it works out for you.

Mike
