Disclaimer: I'm from 3ware.
We did have a bug in which the adapter could lose an IO. However, to our
knowledge, these bugs have been resolved -- the firmware upgrade is on our
website.
I have the box (which Mike is referring to) -- and after upgrading the
firmware, I haven't spotted the bug yet... but I am awaiting much more soak
time before issuing the clean bill of health.

Lots of success stories; Yahoo! are deploying hundreds of them, for
example.
I can think of only two outstanding not-success stories; one chap running
one in a fast K7 system that was having some unexplained but possibly
timing-related issues, and one very difficult to reproduce bug which may
be the result of the adapter losing a command, which I think that 3ware
have now resolved (waiting on test results back from them).
Hope this helps; I can definitely recommend these controllers.
