what i wonder is this, when will we know about this next run of stability issues with the 9500S series and the "next" (meaning after current one) engineering beta firmware release etc?
errrrr ;-> , how long till we know it's stable and that **another** "GOOD bugfix" is in the pipe?
I'm either really "lucky" or the bug just isn't that common. I'm using a 9500 with RAID 5 on more than one production video editing system. Nary a problem to date and those disks get the crap beaten out of them when we edit uncompressed video.
To explain more fully, there's a cache allocation bug in the 9.2 firmware that kills performance on cards where there is more than one unit defined at boot time. A second unit includes a hot spare. So if you have only one array on your boards and no hot spares, there'll be no problem.
