We are using the Hitachi 9200, and have experienced no troubles in the year or so we have had it. I have no experience with the other solutions you mentioned. I lost the RAID configuration battle, and we have 3 databases, one production(oltp), two development/reporting spread across a 5 disk raid 5. The sales "engineer" said that with all the "pathways and cache" you will not see any measurable IO contention, well he has been right with the exception of times when I have been doing large OS file operations while a developer is performing batch inserts/updates that produce gigabytes of redo. That last sentence may have sounded like a complaint, it wasn't, well maybe I am complaining about losing the configuration battle, but I am a fan of the product.
