Check out the 9550SX-4LP. I have used all three (8506, 9500, and 9550) and performance gets better with each version.

We had this discution last year. Now I have time to reinstall the system... and to order the raid controller.
I will buy one of these: 3WARE 9500S-4 4HD RAID 3WARE 8506- 4 4HD RAID.
OS will be Suse 9.1(maybe 10... but not 100%)
I have 4 SATA HDD's and want to build a 10 Raid.
Just a bit of info regarding SUSE 10.0: I use the 3WARE 8506- 4 4HD RAID as HW raid 5 with the purchased Suse 10.0 Boxed version with x86_64 processor on two identical servers mirroring the partitions as block devices over 1 GB IP with DRBD running without any problems. I didn't need any special setup for the raid/controllers at installation of the OS, the complete partition is mounted as /dev/sdb2 (as /dev/drbd0 with DRBD). ;-) Al
