Interesting topic - i will pursue this, thank you.

my LSISAS1064E SAS in fact *is* a RAID controller. Currently I have
mirror setup.

3ware is produced by LSI :) [1]

Unfortunatelly this server has only 2 HDD bays.
This ubuntu thread got me thinking my 'drivers' which are kernel modules
in fact, might be wrong. Now on LSI page [2] there are some drivers, but
for RedHat. Do you think I can install those?
