Mike Smith has voiced his opinion on -stable that they are not RAID controllers per say and are "way too raw (IMO) for production use." The 3Ware cards work well and until Adaptec's IDE RAID is support, is the only dedicated controller (ie one drive, one controller). Reputedly the 3Ware RAID cards do not work as well with Doze, so other controllers with similar results are of no surprise.
