That's kind of what I figured, but wasn't sure, given that they're on the
supported options list for AlphaServer systems, as are the SA 5300 and 6400.
At least in my experience, they've been rock solid.

It's repackaged SmartArray version 5 hardware from the Proliant range,
essentially a 5304 array controller. All Compaq designed hardware
right down to the midplane, and even shares the cache battery module
from the 5300/6300 controllers.
The same controllers are used in the MSA500 and MSA1500 series, plug and play.
