do you have any comment on the HighPoint 1820 card? it's an 8-port SATA controller with PCI-X, and appears to list for about $US 170 (pricewatch). there's a driver (apparently binary-only, therefore of unknown quality) available from the vendor, but I suspect no real (kerne.org or libata) driver support... comments on HighPoint in general? I've seen a certain amount of traffic from people having trouble with their previous cards, but that's a very biased sample, and who knows - maybe they've improved ;) thanks, mark hahn. (I don't really care about how well it does HW raid; I'd use MD anyway...) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
