i have owned a 3ware escalade 9500s-8 and an areca 1260.
i bought the areca after reading reviews that said it was great. i can't give any comparisons really, but they've both been good. i've been using the areca on windows though for a couple years due to some proprietary software that runs only on windows. all signs point to the areca being faster though.

For RAID-0, 1 or 10, they _all_ use (the 7000 series forward) the same ASIC with SRAM (Static RAM) for 0 wait state, non-blocking operations. So if you want the ultimate in read _and_ write performance, RAID-10 is typically the way to go. -- Bryan NOTE: Areca's Intel X-Scale power ARC-11x0 (PCI-X) and ARC-12x0 (PCIe) series are getting rave reviews for their RAID-5 and RAID-6 performance. The 400+MHz X-Scale (superscalar ARM) seem to be able to handle data transfer rates (DTRs) in excess of what the 3Ware ASIC (9500S) or IBM PowerPC 40x (9550SX) seem to be able to handle. However, Areca is newer and doesn't have the same track record on Linux or always work "out-of-the-box" -- although many people like them so far (including myself). -- Bryan J.
