Okay I'm getting a bit over my head now. Anyone see any problems putting 2 of these in the same machine. After a few other comments I was thinking of trying 2 x RAID-1's.
Most (all but one, actually) of my 3ware based servers have multiple cards in 'em. My most recent has two 9500s-12 boards in it (on separate PCI busses), each board set to RAID 5 w/ a hot spare, and I do a software RAID0 across the two arrays. Performance (tiobench) graphs here:

In short, it goes fast.
Thanks for all the advise people have offered. I've been checking out all the 3ware cards available and believe that the Escalade 7506-4LP would be best for me.
However I've noticed that it is a 64-Bit PCI Card. Can I still use this in a 32-Bit Slot. I think that I read something once that said it would work but at a reduced bandwidth.
