No, the 7800. The difference between the 7800 and 7810 is the length,
the former is a full-length PCI card, the latter is a half-length.
BTW, check out the latest StorageReview article on the 7450. I don't
think they realize that the 7450 "R5Fusion" stuff is actually just a
SRAM upgrade from 1MB to 2MB. Makes a huge difference in RAID-5 --
otherwise, it doesn't matter much.

HyperMicro Systems. Actually, they're out of a stock too!
3Ware was going to pull-out of the PCI card market (and concentrate
solely on their iSCSI NAS devices), but have since decided to reverse
that decision. I'm sure demand had a lot to do with it, but there seems
to be a "darth" of supply right now -- possibly because they shutdown
production before they decided to not shelf the Escalade line.
