I have not tried MPIO, the article on MPIO is for vSphere 4, needs some customizations for 5, I am currently gathering them and getting them ready to mail to Open-E for an article on 5.

In the second post the same setup (hardware based) is being used so:

12x 300 GB SAS (ST3300657SS) in RAID 10
PERC H700 controller, 1 gb cache, write back enabled
