Chips on the cards might be LSI (I do remember seeing one on the P400i)
but the interface is SmartArray. I just recently did some testing on a
P400i with 512MB BBWC (DL360g5 with 2xXeon 5160) which had a 4x72GB 10K Raid5.
6.2-RC2 build world in about 13.5 minutes. Using dd to write a sequential
10GB file had a throughput of about 150MB/sec.
