Do you mean the areca 12xx series or the newer 1680? I was under the
impression the difference in performance wasn't that big between teh
95xx 3wares and teh 12xx Arecas. We have a 1680i on order, with 16
15K RPM SAS drives. I'll let you guys know how it runs.

I've heard the SAS/SATA Arecas don't get along well with some SATA
drives, but generally are quite reliable on SAS. this was in a number
of forum posts on different hardware and linux sites repeated by
different folks over and over.
