I've only had one major problem so far, and I think the end result (lost data) was due to a combination of stupidity on my part (replacing the wrong drive) and a firmware bug relating to sector repair in RAID-5 that has now been fixed. Scott Long has said that he is working with HighPoint to get the 2340 driver into the tree (and the updated 2320 driver). /Daniel Eriksson
