Yeah...

FWIW there was a thread last month on fedora-devel:

- 3w-9xxx module version in FC4
  https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2005-April/thread.html#00872

I thought this comment was interesting:

  We never use these systems for high usage scenarios like a
  database server or sometimes even a home directory server.  Nearline
  backup and slow storage is what we consider them useful for.
