I only have one gripe with the mpt2 based cards (2008, 2308, etc) is that they cant currently be used as boot devices in the presence of an Intel 910 SSD. I have defect 490258-218190922 logged at LSI but there is seemingly no movement after several weeks. The status of this can be tracked at http://broken.net/intel-910-ssd/intel-910-ssd-compatibility-issues-with-othe r-lsi-mpt2-based-products-part-i/ Ironically, the Intel 910 also uses an mpt2 chip.
My next buy of servers are going out with the EOL'd SAS3081E-R cards which are 1068e based so I use 800GB Intel 910s. I prefer to boot from LSI cards as sort of the devil I know as opposed to the devil I don't in the case of an onboard controller. j.
