I have a 3ware 9000 series card (don't remember precisely which model ATM)
running 8 SATA drives in raid 5 with a hot spare in hot-swap cages for my
backup server. It has been rock solid since I put it up about 6 months
ago. It's running Debian testing. About the only downside I can see is
that their management software is readily available as Debian packages as
far as I can see, so installing that was a little tricky-ish.
