Until the Escalade 9500S series matures, I've been recommending the following:
3Ware Escalade 7506/8506 for RAID-10.
3Ware Escalade 7506/8506 for RAID-5 when it is largely a read-only setup.
LSI Logic MegaRAID SATA 300-8X (XScale) for RAID-5.
Unless you absolutely need the maximum disk efficiency of RAID-5, or
you have 99% reads (e.g., typical MySQL Internet server), then RAID-10
is often far better than RAID-5.
