    Just a quick reminder: I was asking about the low-end market-
nothing so complex as anything you'd put into a NOC...it sounds like
these cards are the next generation of ass-kicking RAID cards for the
foreseeable future...I just wanted some assurance that SW RAID (or cheap
hardware) could be counted upon to work in a more hobbyist-sense.

    I've bookmarked the page; if I get to a "real" RAID environment,
outside my basement, I'll give it another look.  :)  Thanks!
