I suggest everyone stay away from 3Ware from now on.
My experience has been that 3ware cards are less reliable that software RAID for a long, long time. It took me a while to convince my previous employer to stop using them. Inability to migrate disk sets across controller families, data corruption, and boot failures due to bad battery daughter cards eventually proved my point. I have never seen a failure due to software RAID, but I've seen quite a lot of 3ware failures in the last 15 years.
