Hi! I know this is a little bit offtopic, but i couldn't think of any other place where i can get uninfluenced first hand information on these controllers :) I've read about and experienced data loss/system lockup with older 3ware controllers, but the 3ware Escalade 7xxx (i'm especially interested in the 7850) sounds too good to ignore it (8 channels, 8 drives, raid 0/1/5/10, drive-side ide bus, system-side scsi bus). Does anybody use Escalade 7xxx in production systems? How does it perform? If it's not any good, do you know any other IDE Raid controllers with similiar specs like the 3ware? best regards, Michael Renner
