We've setup two machines with 3ware 8506 controllers running RAID 10:

Controller SCSI ID: 0
Monitor version: ME7X 1.01.00.038
Firmware version: FE7S 1.05.00.063
BIOS version: BE7X 1.08.00.048
PCB version: Rev5
Achip version: 3.20
Pchip version: 1.30-66
Model: 8506-4LP
Serial number: F14402A3460382
Unit count: 1
Unit 0
Status: OK
Capacity: 240.06 GB (468879104 blocks)
Write Cache: Not In Use
Configuration: Striped Mirrors 64K (RAID 10)
Stripe size: 64K (65536 bytes)
Subunit count: 2


Network cards are Intel PRO/1000 MT Server adapter with the Intel's
drivers version 5.2.30.1. drbd version 0.6.11. Kernel is 2.4.19. 

Everything seems to work, but the connection is terribly slow:

version: 0.6.11 (api:64/proto:62)

Here is the config:

I'm wondering if anybody has a similar configuration, especially 3ware
controllers and similar network cards.

Please advise if anybody has any suggestions,
Thanks a lot.
