Thread: hardware question - LSI MegaRaid 8480e

Does anyone have anything specifically good or bad to say about the LSI
MegaRaid 8480e, in particular RAID-10 performance, and performance and
stability under Linux or any problems with the battery-backed cache option?

I'm building a new database server and planning to hook one of these up to
an SAS JBOD enclosure for most of the storage.  It will be running Linux
x86_84 and any arrays will be RAID-10.

I was planning on doing exactly the same...would be very curious what
you come up with.
