Full disclaimer: I once had a Dell PowerVault 220S connected with a
PERC3/DC to a Poweredge 2650. The I/O performance was *so* abysmal and
caused me such stress that I really don't ever want to work with a PERC
RAID controller for the rest of my life.
That said, a system using a PERC4/Ei might be on my horizon. My gut
instinct is to lobby against buying it, but I'm trying to be logical and
level headed. ;) Has anyone who has been burned by the PERC3s in the
past worked with the PERC4s? How do they perform? I know my DC
experience isn't an apples to apples comparison to a Di, but the thought
of getting back on the "maybe the next megaraid version or BIOS update
will fix the problem?" train is not sitting well with me.
