The hardware RAID controller I am currently using on a server
at work is a 3Ware 7500-8
(http://www.3ware.com/products/parallel_ata.asp)

Although, it is ATA 133, and not SCSI.

Monitor version: ME7X 1.01.00.035
Firmware version: FE7X 1.05.00.049
BIOS version: BE7X 1.08.00.046
PCB version: Rev3
Achip version: V3.20
Pchip version: V1.30
Model: 7500-8

Status: OK
Capacity: 1.22 TB (2389770240 blocks)
Write Cache: In Use
Configuration: Striped with Parity 64K (RAID 5)
Stripe size: 64K (65536 bytes)
Subunit count: 7

I guess what spooks me is seeing messages like this:

WARNING: Drive sector ECC error corrected on port 7...
WARNING: Drive sector ECC error corrected on port 0 on controller ID:0. (0x23)
INFORMATION: Rebuild is complete on unit 0 on controller ID:0. (0x5)
