    The words "Pro" and "Sandforce" are mutually exclusive to me. Bug ridden, poorly tested controllers.

    Keep in mind that this is a new Sandforce controller, and that Sandforce is owned by LSI (now Avago), which makes nearly every RAID controller in servers these days. They know "pro" and "enterprise".
    We'll see, of course, how they actually perform when they've been in the wild for a few years.

    Indeed! The problem with sandforce was that they did not have enough manpower to test their product properly. And Avago on the other hand can not affort to test their products poorly. The hardware with Sandforse has been really good and now with much better quality controll these can be really good... the downside will be that these will be expensive... maybe too expensive. Who knows.

    This is not the new SF-3700 series controller, but an older SF-2582.

    I thought the "perception" of Sandforce having bad controllers, came from their use in OCZ drives?
