Oh LSI is going to feel the pain for not supporting the most popular stable drive on the planet! I'll be glad to post (and retract should they fix it) everywhere that the samsung 840. This is going to hit all the major websites soon! I hope STH can spread the news.
The more negative press, the more likely they'll get off their butts and fix their firmware.
Honestly: I think they pulled support before Samsung released the new firmware. If you google around, you'll see there were massive problems with the original 840 firmware that caused massive performance issues due to GC and extremely poor performance.
They also note on webhostingtalk the Cache Enable bug - is present with the DC3700 intel drive, which i'd say is a pretty big deal - and a drive still on the supported list!
I was able to enable the cache after putting in the fastpath/cachecade 9266 trial key - have you tried that? Seriously, it allowed me to enable after putting in the key.
Have you noticed the 9266 has "performance mode" Best for IOPS , Best for Latency? and tunable parameters?
The "Random drop" of one 840 pro after 1 week for no reason is odd.
The 9266 runs 10 degrees centigrade hotter than the P420 and quite honestly isn't any faster
