Hi,

Has anyone tested one of these?
It appears to use the same 800mhz ROC as the Areca 1880ix, I know the Areca's are faster, but they do not let you kick out a bad drive from an array.
I have a 9650SE-16PML and in general I have not had any issues with it but its PCI-e 1.x where the 9750's are PCI-e 2.x.
However, 3ware's have never been fast in general but if all cards are using the same ROC I am curious of its performance..
I have not seen anyone using 16 or 24 drives on any 9750 card yet..
 
These card are actually made by LSI, they own 3ware these days. Have a look for the equivilent LSI product, there wont be a big differences between them. I think LSI are optimizing 3Ware for video editing and multimedia whilst their own card are aimed more at random workloads, hardware is nearly identical.
