Buyer Beware...
By Safris
This is the fourth RAID cart I've owned from 3ware. All others worked perfectly and prior to this purchase, I've recommended their products to many. Not any more.One of the great things about PCs are they are based on an architecture, where parts are interchangeable as long as the interfaces are comparable. So if you have a 3GB SATA drive you can plug it into any 3GB SATA port and it just works. Certainly some motherboards and interface cards will have cool special features that only work with certain parts and if you plug in something that doesn't support the cool special feature, you can't use the feature, but the component still just works.But not with this card. Not by a long shot. There is a SHORT list of hard drives that will work with this card. And if you plug in a drive that doesn't work, you have to push it hard, I mean really hard to discover that it doesn't work. I'm using Ubuntu and I kept getting controller crashes after several hours of constant coping of data to the drives I had connected. Finally their tech support admitted that this is what happens when you don't use a drive on their short comparability list. Fortunately I discovered this problem before I lost any data.Whatever feature is causing the card to crash like this needs to be automatically turned off by the card if the drives don't support it. A card this expensive should never leave finding comparability issues to when you need the card the most.

By R. K. Johnson
I bought this card to replace a 3ware 8000 series PCI-X card, and I'm very very happy with it, it performs great, works with every drive I have tried on it.
