I worked for a OEM software company developing iSCSI and NAT software that
ran on 3ware cards. I wasn't impressed with the 3ware performance, nor
what I was seeing with any of the ATA cards.

I think my old smart array boards are faster.

And that wasn't just their products, that was a bunch of different
scenerios. They actually (I believe) are beating the PANTS off of the
3ware cards with software RAID, which shouldn't be.

3ware might be reliable, but it's not fast. Dunno why.
