Mediocre performance, random lockups, and Dell's refusal to address said lockups are the reasons I abandoned Dell's PERC controllers. My preference is Areca 1680/1880, then 3Ware 96xx, then LSI, then Adaptec. Areca's web interface on a dedicated ethernet port make them super easy to configure while the machine is running with no need for specialized software for a given OS, and they're performance and reliability are great. The 3Wares are very solid with later model BIOS on board. LSI gets a rasberry for MegaCLI, the 2nd klunkiest interface ever, the worst being their horrible horrible BIOS boot setup screen. -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
