To make it short: Have a x345 here with ServeRAID ?? (Adaptec ASR-2020S). As soon as I realized I have to install additional SW and the HBA has no decent BIOS, I ripped it out of the machine and went mdadm.
The x345 seems to be a bad example, the speed on the ServeRaid adapter in there really sucked, I am seeing better throughput with mdadm on there too.
I really never tried it; the machine itself is very nice for an x86-based server, but the HBA itself didn't convince me (that is, I read the documentation and decided that it's not enterprise class ;)...
With other machines I really didn't have problems with ServeRaid, except if you suddenly get one of those ServeRaid cards which can only do RAID1 or RAID0 :)
