A few comments on 3Ware controllers:
-There was a recent advisory from 3ware about Raid 5. If you use
their Raid 5 you can loose data.
-I highly recommend you flash your controller to the latest bios
-Raid 1 and 10 have been the most trouble free for me. Have had
some problems with Raid 0 which a bios upgrade seem to have
fixed.
