Hi Scott,

Are they? I don't see any reference to the LSI8708, LSI8888 or LSI1068 in the 
man pages I can find...does anyone use these? Some people have problems with the 
PERC 6/i (which I think is an LSI), which makes me wonder. 3ware says their SAS 
driver is in beta...I dunno, I'm not trying to be confrontational, maybe I'm 
just overly skeptical or paranoid or something. I'm leaning towards 3ware right 
now, but still looking for success/failure stories.

Thanks for the responses!
