Does anybody use the following RAID controller on 4.10: 3ware Escalade 7006-2 IDE Raid controller
Yes, we have numerous boxes deployed with various 3ware cards including that one. All our critical servers running FreeBSD, Linux and Win32 use these cards.
Does it have any problems with stability/performance?
It works VERY well for us in both respects on RELENG_4 and RELENG_5.
It will be used in RAID1 (2 IDE drives) configuration on 4.10-RELEASE system (of course with latest patches).One note, the download info for their web management program (http://www.3ware.com/support/download.asp) implies its only available for the 8000 series card which is false, as it is in fact designed to work with the 7xxx and 8xxx cards.
Although I havent run into disk compatibility issues, some people have issues with particular firmwares on certain Maxtor drives. I run mostly with Segate drives right now, but in the past have run Maxtor, quantum and Fujitsu, all without problems. YMMV
