I guess it's personal preference, whatever you get test it well. Our server=
s are now a couple of years old, but I've some s3700s in r910s on dell h700=
 controllers without issues.=A0 Going back to some even older machines from=
 when the perc controllers were inconsistent and mainly crap, I switched th=
em out for adaptec 5805 & 5805Z controllers and we've a bunch of s3500s on =
those without issue too.

I'm not sure what controllers dell are shipping these days, or if they're s=
till h700s if they're still the same.=A0 I think ours are lsi megasas 9260s.
