There was a fairly long recent thread discussing the Dell Perc 6 controller starting here:

  http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-performance/2008-03/msg00264.php

(Unfortunately, the Postgres web archive does a terrible job formatting plain-old-text messages, it doesn't seem to know that it should wrap paragraphs, so some of these are pretty hard to read as web pages.)
