Best SCSI or SAS RAID for a NAS?

We're looking for opinions on what the best RAID controller would be for
maximizing throughput on a drive array serving as a NAS using NFS.  It
needs to be either SCSI based or SAS based.

Right now, we're using an LSI MegaRAID with 512MB RAM, which was the
best at the time, but we're experiencing throughput issues and are
looking for what might be better.

Thanks!
