I use 8500-8 3ware controllers, but I have seen a number of
controllers with faulty SATA connectors that cause the RAID to go outof
sync....<br>
<br>
Other than that software wise they are great...<br>

also be supported.

The nice thing about the 3wares are that the drivers for the 7/8xxx series
have been in the kernel for a very long time (2.2 days, IIRC), and the
9xxx drivers have been in for a while as well. That's one reason they
tend to be so well trusted. As another vote of confidence, I've got 5 TB
on 7xxx series controllers in production and another 5.5TB on 9xxx
controllers in testing right now.
