My opinion is that they're acceptable but not fast. We've had one flaky controller in 30 controllers in a year (but I think that one turned out to be a loose PCI-slot). On the plus side: + does raid6 + smartarray logical drives are a lot more flexible than most other raids + monitoring built on hpacucli, works, clear and consistent behaviour + just works on CentOS + no problem with large devices (for resonably new versions of fw/driver) and: - not terribly impressive speed wise - /dev/cciss/cXdY... can be problematic when software assumes /dev/XXX - hpacucli requires you to twist your brain sideways (syntax) All my experience with the p800 is from DL185g5 with 12x1T drives. We also have a few random p400's. They behave idenically to the p800 but slower. /Peter
