3Ware Software Version InformationIf you have a 3Ware IDE RAID controller, you are aware that the revision numbers of the different software and firmware elements bear no resemblance to the revision numbers listed on the 3Ware support web site. This short paper lists the revision numbers of the different components, and relates them to the 3Ware release number. The purpose of this paper is to help users of 3Ware products get the most out of their 3Ware cards. This
information is extracted from 3Ware and RedHat documentation and
source
code.
|
This table contains the version numbers and release numbers of many of the available releases of the 3Ware software and firmware for the 9XXX series controller cards. For optimum reliability and performance, all products used should be from the same release.

It can be seen from the Release Date information above that 3Ware currently releases a new version of their software and firmware every two to three months. Although this seems to be excessively often, it is in line with several major software vendors. Specifically, both Sun and SGI release updates every three months.
