At least they do manufacture quite some chips for Adaptec, so I guess their stuff shouldn't stink too much?Which chips do they manufacture? The RAID controller (shudder) or the SATA controller? I remember the LSI SATA-160 card had the LSI RAID card had three Sil3112 chips on (to control the six drives) and the LSI RAID controller on top of that. I assume the RAID controller is the same one used on the SCSI cards I used (had the same crap performance).I just placed an order for the Highpoint 1820 8-channel controller and 6x500 WD disks.. I'll report here how I feel about the controller when it's installed in a couple of days. :)
Alright folks.. STAY AWAY from this piece of junk!I'll put out the Highpoint on eBay for a dollar, it's a no-good piece of trash, which of course doesn't show up ANYWHERE until you actually try to use it.
I'll order a Adaptec instead. -- Anders Norrbring Norrbring Consulting
