Many many years ago I bought a HighPoint HPT366 ATA66 controller.
Thought its a good deal because it was cheap.
Thought, an ATA interface can't be that complicated anymore
so that its safe to buy a cheap product.
Turned out that I was very wrong with my theorie.
I ran into timeout problems, that couldn't be fixed.
After days and nights of troubleshooting and testing
I didn't get it to work reliably.
I replaced it by buying a more expensive Promise controller.
Since then I had zero problems.
Since that time I lost trust in HighPoint products.
Good stuff has its price. It must not always be the
most expensive hardware. But going with the cheapest
(and I assume the HighPoint product will again be
in the low price segment) can be troublesome.
