Just to throw in my 2 cents worth...
I've used both the 3ware 850x SATA raid card and currently have an Adaptec
2410 SATA raid card. The machines are database servers with fairly large
databases (75MM records+)
I'm not as deeply technical as many of the others who have responded to this
issue, but having done no tuning of any sort, both cards perform about the
same. In addition, neither of them has failed or been a problem.
Like I said, just my 2 cetns worth.
