So long as you're running sarge, the 3ware 9xxx boards appear to be solid. I have had a hell of a time trying to get the 3ware provided 3w-9xxx driver to work under Debian's 2.4 kernels, but it's built into 2.6.8. You'll need to use the "Engineering Release" 3ware utilities, though; the 9.0.2 release binaries don't work with the 2.6.8 3w-9xxx driver. M
