Now this is the first I've heard of someone dissing 3ware, so.. 
details, details?

What 3ware controllers, what array configuration (RAID0/1/5), how many 
disks, etc etc.. vs the typical configuration for your software RAID 
boxen.  And of course, define "problems"..  Hard drive failures don't 
count.

For the record I have two 3ware arrays up and in production right now;
one is a 2x40 RAID1 on a 6200-series controller, and the other is a
5x120 RAID5 array on a 7506-series controller.   The latter's going to 
become 4x120 + 4x200 in the near future, because I need the space.
