Greetings,

I have a HighPoint 370A based RAID card and I had used the FreeBSD ataraid
driver (4.7/4.8) with good results.

But I am paranoid that one of these days, the dreadful "lost interrupt" or
"timeout" messages will pop up, which they did for a Promise Fasttrak TX2
card of mine.

I notice that HighPoint has its own proprietary driver for FreeBSD and it
SEEMS to offer more features.

Has anyone used that? Would you recommend the native FreeBSD ataraid driver
or the HighPoint scsi emulation driver?

Thanks for your input!

Andrew
