Areca 1210 Screams

None

None

This card screams. It just clobbers the built in RAID controllers and most plug in cards. I have a 1600 GB RAID 5 array. (1200 usable). I get between 180 - 200 MB/s sustained read throughput for most of the array. Lowest is 137 MB/s. I get about 70 MB/s average write speed.

Be carefull about the motherboard you buy. I used a dual PCI Express 16 motherboard from ASUS. They don't expect you to put anything other than a video card in the second slot. Only recognizes the card about 75% of the time. 3 finger solute fixes the problem but it is annoying. I also had to flag the bios as Dual video cards in order for it to even turn on the 2nd slot.

no support from areca

good raid card

no support, buy at your risk.

I must agree with other buyers that the support for this product is non-existent. I sent an email for Areca like a week ago but no reply. Person at Tainwan office gave me the US support phone# but no one answers for 2 days..no voicemail, nada. Who's selling this? I am afraid there is NO RMA for this product.
