I've been having no end of issues with a 3ware 9650SE-24M8 in a server

hooked to it, running as a single RAID6 w/ a hot spare. These issues boil
down to the card periodically throwing errors like the following:

Have other folks had good luck with this card? What sorts of configs are
you running? I'm in the position of needing more storage, and I'm a bit
gun shy on 3ware at the moment...
I have no experience with that raid card, most of our larger systems use
external SAN storage, but I will say that, IMHO, is a very large raid-6. we
usually don't make single raid sets much large than 7-8 drives, and for a
very large storage system, will stripe multiple raid5/6 sets rather than have
one huge one.
Would that I had such luxuries. This is a university lab with needs for
massive amounts of data and not much money with which to do it.
