Tom, The ServeRAID 8k s a real hardware raid controller, is has 256 MB of cache I think and a battery backup. So in this case there is no need for a 3ware controller. On the IBM website you can also find a commandline tool (called arcconf) that allows you monitor and configure the controller inside Linux.
