Careful, the 9550SX/SU's don't work in a PCI slot.

Not sure I'd want 5900 rpm drives.. Depending on how much space you 
need, I'd look into spending the bucks and getting some raid edition drives.

Except when 3ware doesn't provide the cutout and the slot is physically 
incompatible.

I have a 9550SX-16 right here, and there's no way it'll fit in a pci slot.

9500's will run in 64bit mode though, which provides a bit of a boost 
compared to just regular PCI
