This is my second unit, works real well. Very fast. I use it in pure JBOD configuration.

Great idea at a great price. When it works it works incredibly well
RR642L Card seems to reset on the primary channel intermittently during access or predictably during drive optimization.
I have this setup connected to a Windows Server 2012 box with 8 4TB drives as one large Raid 5 Array. As stated above when it works it works great as I use it for Media serving. Then sometimes the RR642L Card seems to have an issue and will reset the primary channel taking the array offline briefly and for a unknown and not logged(in the OS) reason.
All Drives are fine so this isn't a hard disk issue per say and it will run flawlessly for months with no changes then act up.
This seems to me to be an issue with the driver from Highpoint but from what I have seen they don't seem motivated to update their driver software or Bios.
