LSI (or whoever owns that line these days - Intel was the last one, I recollect)
With LSI beware that they have really nasty command line client, and do not have raid watch daemon with web interface like late 3ware had (alas, 3ware after they were bought out several times by competitors were drawn down out of existence).
Um, er, if you think the MegaRAID command line tool his user-unfriendly, the 3-Com one was downright user-hostile. *shudder* I'm really glad the systems with those have been surplussed.....
I like CLIs and don´t like web interfaces ...
I _am_ a command line person myself. Yet, when dealing with RAID, I do prefer GUI interface, as it is much harder to screw up when you use 3ware web interface, compared to, say, 3ware command client interface, the last being much better and clearer than LSI command client... Again, it can be just me, or it can be the same for many people that our perception of things in GUI is less prone to grave mistakes.
As I said, anyone who wants an easy to use script that works with MegaRAID< drop me an email, and I'll send it to you. It's a script, so you can verify it's not going to hold your RAID for ransom. <g.
