Stay away from the PERC H310 ! We found out later that it can read,
but it cannot write (a few KB/s generating a lot of errors) with
the imr_sas driver in its current state. We ripped them out and
relocated the disks to other machines.
After all these hassles and other experiences with Dell support
I would NOT recommend the Dell T3600 anymore, use another machine
from another vendor...
