I can not comment on "most vendors" but for the PROGRESS RDBMS RAID5

Write performance of RAID5 on hardware MegaRAID SATA 150-6D is *very*
poor.



So? That thing is 1) ancient with what looks like a half-baked chip solution for raid5 calculations and 2) just comes with only 64MB of cache.

You can get a 3ware card with much more cache (9550 and above) and blow away that LSI piece of rubbish.
