The HPT374 has been supported for quite some time (it even is on -stable), however Highpoint added RAID5 to thier software RAID engine sometime back, and that I do not support yet. When/if this will happend depends alot on what goings to happen with geom/vinum/raidframe/ataraid, I'd very much like to not have to code RAID5 support in ataraid, but to use some generic code that should have been in the system for this. However I dont see this happening anytime soon, and I'm getting more and more requests for this for HPT and Promise products, so it might be time for me to look for parties interested enough in this to make me have time to do it... -Søren
