Likewise, I've been using a 9500S-4 in a CentOS 3.5 server with the 
distro included driver.  No complaints as of yet.  Although the setup 
isn't really exotic, simple RAID1 with one hot spare.

Before that I used to download the source from 3ware, compile it and use 
the resulting module on previous releases of CentOS.  No problems back 
then either.
