That is also the experience I had. For anyone that can get at least 4 drives I highly recommend 10 on those boards. I have an old machine with an old 6400 3ware card running 4.7. It is scheduled to go out of production on some weeks so I will be able to play with it then again. It is inside our firewalls so never really bothered too much upgrading it. I ended up splitting the 4 drives into 2 for a Raid 1 and 2 for a raid 0. Has been rock stable..
