The 7k model on this one does RAID 5 and the two non-standard 5E & 5EE
versions. The performance on the contoller is not bad given that the
RAID is hung off either the PCI-X133 or PCI-E busses (forget which).
Both CentOS & Win2k03 performance is adequate.

As an aside, I'm still running tests on Samba 3 as a AD domain member
and aside from having to chmod 777 the root of the fileshare to allow
the ACL's to work properly everything is fine. But that's an issue for
another list.
