The StrongARM and, subsequent, superscalar XScale microcontrollers change everything. They can push as little as 200MBps in old designs up to 500MBps in the new IOP32x/33x series. But you'll pay through the nose for the cards, $500+, although they do best even the 3Ware 9500S at RAID-5. Some have RAID-3/4 options that are more ideal than RAID-5 for desktops and NFS servers, respectively.
You seem to know what you're talking about, so I'll run another issue by you. :)
One of my friends called me the other day regarding problems with centos installation on 3ware 7810-8 controller. According to him the driver loads just fine, he can see AND partition the drive from the console, but the installation program doesn't seem to want to use the array.
He says it works like a charm on mdk 9.2 beta.
Any tips? I haven't looked into the problem yet, and I don't even know what this old controller is. :)
