aix-digest V3 #594
Augusto Barradas
There are some pieces of hardware (IBM 7135 and 7137 for example) which
implement RAID-5 by hardware. These are SCSI technology disk which are
being set aside by the SSA technology.
RAID-5 is also implemented by the SSA adapters but in this case, the
RAID is achieved by software, that´s probably why you heard that AIX
implements RAID by HW and SW.
