Does anyone have performance info about the new Dell Perc/6 controllers? I found a long discussion ("Dell vs HP") about the Perc/5, but nothing about Perc/6. What's under the covers?
The Perc/6i has an LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS 1078 chipset under the hood. I know the Linux drivers for the card seemed to stabilize around October, there's a good sized list of compatible distributions on LSI's site. FreeBSD support has some limitations but basically works. I haven't seen any benchmarks for the current version of the card yet.
