I haven't used the H330's but I do have quite a few R610's, R620's, R720xd's, R730xd's and a few other various systems where I work. They all run SciLinux, (6.x and 7.x). We've been very happy with them so far, got half a dozen or so in the ordering pipeline too.
Some of the smaller RAID cards are Window's only so be careful that you check the specs before you buy. Got burned on one of those a few years back, my fault, I didn't read the fine print. Most of my systems have H7xx or H8xx RAID controllers.
We use tons of Dell R610s with the LSI MegaRAID cards under CentOS and have had very few issues. HP's DL160s, DL360s and DL380s with RAID have also served us quite well (also under CentOS).

Hi,
I can recomment IBM M4/M5 Series (now it's Lenovo). They are newer than yours, they play well with CentOS/RHEL (got plenty installations). You have IPMI/dual PSU/dual CPU. The RAID is LSI, which is supported and you can monitor it with the tools from LSI. I am sure you can find many companies in UK, that offer this hardware.

Hi Todor,
Thanks for that. I am looking at Lenovo at the moment.
I'm also looking at the DELL PowerEdge R630 with the H330 RAID controller. Google seems to come up with conflicting reports on this though, some saying it works fine while others are having trouble with the RAID controller not showing any drives when doing the install.
Does anyone have experience of this kit?
