It beats the pants off of my 3ware 7450 and 8506. I don't know how it compares to the 9xxx-series controllers. Unfortunately, the last time I checked the Areca folks hadn't got their drivers into the kernel tree (2.6.14-mumble). It annoyed me to have to unpack the archive and tweak the Kconfig file, but I eventually got over it (mostly ;-).
