I have got an Areca ARC-1110 4x SATA2 PCI-X card in my server, and I'm quite impressed with the performance; these cards do very well in terms I/O operations per second and the driver has been rock solid for me. The only downside is that they are quite expensive (but well worth it, IMO) Regards, -- Rink P.W. Springer - http://rink.nu "Beauty often seduces us on the road to truth." - Dr. Wilson
