I've been using mine (9550sx 4 port) for about 2 months now, and it's been great. I've got two arrays on it right now, one raid1 and one raid0, both running very happily. The default centos 3ware drivers don't work with it yet. I'm not sure if this changes in update 3 (due soon) or not. Rebuilding the 3ware drivers for centos are trivial, and 3ware is hosting community provided driver disks and such on their site. Basically for the money, I'm quite happy with it.
I'll second that. We've been using the 9550sx 4/8/12 port cards in a good number machines with positive results. If using RAID5 you need to be picky about what SATA drives you use. WD desktop drives are known to cause timeouts. Use the RAID edition drives instead.
