I've got a couple 6xxx controllers and while Speaking of 3dm: my experiences with that are not so good. - no debian package I could find - bit of a weird startup procedure without clear messages if it started OK or not (and why it wouldn't start) - it had a memory leak - crashed every now and then That's with the version that came with my 7504 a few years back, so hopefully things have improved since then. Can't remember if I solved or worked around that. That particular machine is no longer running. I like the 3ware cards fine enough, but I think I would buy Areca stuff now, but they don't have a driver in the vanilla kernel source (it's in -mm though, but I don;t really want to run that on production servers).
