3ware Raid Card Drivers

[garritynet]

I have the current 9.5.3 drivers which were released in NOV 09. This is my first RAID card and I am not sure what to expect but I read on one forum or another that 9.5.3 was going to be the last non-LSI software update released.

Is it reasonable to expect 3ware to continue to support their 9650 cards with new drivers?

I have no problem with 9.5.3 but I am just curious. Any ideas?

Why not email/call/ask them?

They must! (?)
Too many of those cards have been used and have very good reputation to just drop their support.
Just my thoughts.
I've used three of 3ware models with great success and hope to get further support, for some time at least.

If they are dropping it, I'd certainly expect better support from an enterprise class piece of hardware. For the price they ask for their hardware, 3ware should provide you with at least 10 years (or more) of driver support for their clients.
