Heya, I've got one of these cards as well and found that it is more efficient to use the Linux software raid support instead of the highpoint driver or even the ataraid driver) As long as you don't have Windoze installed as well (and want it on a Raid) then use the Linux md stuff... it's faster and much easier to install, maintain etc....
