I've been having no end of issues with a 3ware 9650SE-24M8 in a server that's coming on a year old. I've got 24 WDC WD5001ABYS drives (500GB) hooked to it, running as a single RAID6 w/ a hot spare. These issues boil down to the card periodically throwing errors like the following:

sd 1:0:0:0: WARNING: (0x06:0x002C): Command (0x8a) timed out, resetting card.

9650SE with 8 ports on a couple servers running CentOS 5 64 bit. Pretty heavily used database servers, lots of bursts of disk activity. No problems so far. I'm using the binary driver provided by 3ware.

I'm testing now the 16 port version for newer servers, no problems there either (but not much usage yet, of course).
