Guess I was wrong about the whole 'Port Multiplication' thing, if it works in that mode. Still, the original post also mentions that it's an H/W RAID controller, so I guess the problem can be negated just by packing disks into RAID0 or linear array, so it'll be one channel instead of three separate ones. Kinda curious about it's performance - H/W RAID cards seem to be more expensive than fifty pounds and this one shouldn't have any interface to draw power from CPU via OS drivers. -- Mike Kazantsev // fraggod.net
