Those things were bulletproof. Unfortunately, the maintainer of the

maintaining it these days.

Yeah, I don't think I'd use it for anything even remotely important with
those comments on Adaptec's own site.

I suspect you may have some other hardware problem that's unrelated to
the 3ware card (unless it was a defective card). I have beaten the crap
