Haven't upgraded to the 7.6 firmware yet(still using 7.5.3 that was on the card), anyone notice any difference? The 7000-2 and 7500-4's in raid1 work quite nicely. The 7500-4 in raid5 actually lags the system for 3-5 seconds when doing a lot of disk i/o. Feels like working on a p120 with DMA shut off, to be honest. Works for what I'm doing with it though.
