Reviews for (at least some) Highpoint RAID controllers on Newegg aren't particularly glowing unfortunately. https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=highpoint&ignorear=0&N=100007607%20600022700%20600022720%20600022755&isNodeId=1 Also, some people say it's not really hardware RAID, just firmware RAID. I'm not so concerned about speed here as I am about redundancy tho. Having had some RAID controllers which seemed to be fine right up until the point they ate company data (Promise Supertraks, long gone), I'm a bit leery of RAID controllers with mixed reviews. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com
