SV650.org - SV650 & Gladius 650 Forum - FYI Sys admins: 3ware Customer Advisory

I know a few few people are techy types here, I just thought I would put something up that came to my attention today.

If you have large data storage arrays, which use this card, it looks like you will lose data unless you patch immediately.

This could put a sys admin in very very hot water. Like, looking for a new job situation.
Just a heads up...
