Similalry, intel uses a de-facto "standard" format called IMSM, again, recognized by many operating systems without issue on non-Intel hardware. | |

Also in the case of disk inconsistency for whatever reason (single failed write). Been there, done that, suffered for it (in the case of Intel "hardware" RAID - this was several years ago). Anyone but me find Intel's Windows drivers and entire RST/SRT software stack buggy and heavyweight? Just say no .... | |
