Topic says it all. Is the mrsas driver packaged with 9.10 U6 considered stable for important data? Thanks to all you gurus.

I see people saying that it was not reliable two years ago, but I've been using them for a couple days now and everything seems happy.

I ask because I have to make a decision with my server. I can use Perc S130 in AHCI mode, I can use the Perc H330 in HBA mode (which I'm doing now and using the mrsas driver, or I can flash the H330 with IT mode firmware. Which would be the safest option? Everyone seems to indicate that the sas3008 based H330 flashed in IT mode is an excellent choice.

Yes, mrsas is "stable". It has seen much less testing as a SCSI direct attach driver than mpr, which is most definitely preferred.
