Anyone have any experience with these products yet? We've got one in for eval, but I thought I'd also ask for experiences here...

I have two 8-port ones i a machine with 500GB hitachi drives, runs ok, but NCQ needs extremely new firmware from hitachi. I've so far tried, among other things, raid0, raid5, lvm stripe over devices, heavy I/O while rebuilding, .. everything but two performance problems looks fine (#1 ext3 sucks on 3ware raid5, #2 I can't get good read performance on two raid5s in a lvm stripe).

Thanks in advance.
