From the recent discusion on this, it seemed that there was a possiblity of the MegaRAID drivers wedging under extreme load. This was being worked on, but it wasn't clear if it had been fixed. The Mylex controllers were supposed to be the best RAID solution at this moment. The AMI is supposed to be a month or so.
