Does anyone have any suggested PCI-X Sata Raid Controllers which are natively supported in Centos 4.3, the 2.6 kernel. I guess either with the new megaraid or aacraid drivers?
3ware. THE most reliable. Never saw one fail and there were more than 10 boxes using 3ware cards. Watch out for motherboard compatibility if you have one of them Intel E7500 or something chipsets.
If you need native kernel support, use the 9500, not the 9550. 9550 support is currently only available with the driver available from 3ware.
Anyone know if 9550 support will be included in CentOS 4.4?

OTOH, if you need good RAID5 performance, use the 9550. 3ware is pretty darn good about providing drivers/install disks in a timely manner, even for OS point releases.

This bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=174639 seems to indicate that it will be.
