The 3ware 9550SX serves me very well. And, I've got the battery backup unit installed to it takes full advantage of the card's cache. But, yes, not inexpensive. However, my data is worth the price. Ed
Agreed - I use a ton of the 8006-2LPs and 9500S-4LPs... great support and pretty solid Linux drivers after kernel 2.6.11 (FC4s default) - this kernel had a problem with most RAID arrays. The problem is pretty well-documented on 3ware's KDB, if anyone cares... an upgrade to 2.6.12+ fixes the problem... should be a pretty solid card for FC6... even comes with a web admin interface for those who are CLI-challenged. ;-) - G
