Fortunately for me, the system wasn't critical and the cards failed at reboots -- and I had spares :) The upside is, if you're using ZFS, data corruption may not be an issue. Also, did we mention that the cards are CHEAP? Like, bottled water cheap. On the other hand, I've read of "higher end" Rosewill (presumably also SiI) cards performing admirably, and for extended periods. Luck of the draw, I suppose... 2 cents, Brandon
