One thing I would like to see is a list of favoured non-raid multiport cards that are not dumb. We have a server running a rocket RAID controller (largely to get 8 ports of SATA). It doesn't do hot swap, it doesn't do SMART and I'm beginning to believe it might occasionally corrupt sectors

If you have a dual-em card in this server, you should get better performance putting your primary load out the em interface(s). In general, we've benched the em (and to a lesser extent, the fxp) interfaces as performing much better than other ethernets (especially bge). I have a bge on my laptop
