Probably best to stay away from the Areca JBOD HBAs. All 4 use a Marvell chip. Many NewEgg reviews are valuable, as in this case. Lest anyone denigrate the validity of quoting NewEgg due to their "perceived customer base", note that today's NewEgg ships plenty of mid/upper range gear (see links below) into corporations and universities, including blade chassis/blades, FC and converged switches, FC disk arrays, LTO libraries, etc. They now have a business division that competes to a degree with the likes of CDW et al. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&IsNodeId=1&Description=hewlett%20packard&bop=And&Order=PRICED&PageSize=100 http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&IsNodeId=1&Description=ibm&bop=And&Order=PRICED&PageSize=100 -- Stan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
