Without the battery the controller won't do cached writes, which I'm wondering if is somehow related to the behavior I'm seeing. I wasn't aware that the other controller wouldn't work with ESXi in RAID mode. I'll have to do some more research on that. I supposed the last resort would be to buy a controller card as I don't think there is an option to add a battery to the onboard LSI controller. Unfortunately, this is all speculation and I would hate spending money on a new controller without knowing for sure that this whole line of reasoning is accurate. I suppose I could also pay for an incident with VMWare (I have the Essentials product as I'm a consultant and don't have a whole datacenter full of equipment) and see if I can get them to work this out.
