-They added a moving part (2-wire fan, no tach) to a "mission-critical" part. That seems real stupid. After the bearings die in 2-3 years, what happens to your card? Does it melt or just start acting weird? If the engineers didn't consider that, what other failure modes did their limited creativity miss? :)
The fan does have a tachometer which you can monitor from the card BIOS or using the cli binary.
You can also disable the tachometer so you can swap the heatsink+fan for the larger heatsink (w/o fan) that comes in the box.
These were a few of the things that their pre-sales folks were not able to tell me...
You can find all of this out by *gasp* reading the manual.
I did flip through it fairly quickly, but I'm not even sure that these features were available at the time I compared the Areca to the 3Ware. The best info I could find at the time about the fan was looking at the picture on their website - it showed a small heatsink+fan with two wires (no tach).
I'm certainly not trying to push people away from the Areca cards - the more FreeBSD people out there using these the better. Next time we may buy some Arecas since I now am finding some positive feedback from the FreeBSD community.
