Let me try to summarize where things are at a little more clearly, with the data accumulated during this long thread:

-Areca: Usually the fastest around. Management tools are limited enough that you really want the version with the on-board management NIC. May require some testing to find a good driver version.

-3ware: Performance on current models not as good as Areca, but with a great set of management tools (unless you're using SAS) and driver reliability. Exact magnitude of the performance gap with Areca is somewhat controversial and may depend on OS--FreeBSD performance might be better than Linux in particular. Older 3ware cards were really slow.

One of these days I need to wrangle up enough development cash to buy current Areca and 3ware cards, an Intel SSD, and disappear into the lab (already plenty of drives here) until I've sorted this all out to my satisfaction.

... and do I hear you saying that no other vendor is worth considering?  Just how far off are they?

Thanks,
Craig
