never heard of them), but will agree very strongly with the 3ware.
They are excellentm, and the Linux support is good.

Thanks for your reply. What I'm really after is experience with thiscard under linux. I know that it is supported, but so is the LSI cardwhich, with a raid-5 over 4 discs performs worse than 4 discs on thecheap-o onboard SATA controllers with kernel based raid-5. No point inbuying a raid card then.

From what I've read the Areca cards out-do 3ware both in features andperformance http://www.tweakers.net/reviews/557/1


Thanks
