Anybody know about the

in particular.

I know that with 3ware controllers, they are always backward compatible, and will sell you a controller that will work. As to the "bad" activity, nothing will mitigate backups.

Yes, backups are absolutely neccessary,  but one hopes that in many cases a quicker, easier, recovery is possible.  It is desirable that the filesystems will come up with old drives and a new controller.  But sometimes that is just not possible if a failing controller wrote bad stuff on the drives.
