One note, the download info for their web management program (http://www.3ware.com/support/download.asp) implies its only available for the 8000 series card which is false, as it is in fact designed to work with the 7xxx and 8xxx cards. Although I havent run into disk compatibility issues, some people have issues with particular firmwares on certain Maxtor drives. I run mostly with Segate drives right now, but in the past have run Maxtor, quantum and Fujitsu, all without problems. YMMV ---Mike
