Pros: Works very well with a Dell Poweredge SC440 server and Windows Home Server. Easy installation and setup. Drives mount quickly with thumb screws. Good airflow and quiet. Low power consumption.
Cons: Annoying blue LED lights on the rear mounted fan. Looks like a blue flashlight shining on the wall at night. Very little tech support available on mfr web site (China), but email to tech support for drivers was answered quickly.
Overall Review: This is a great way to expand storage. I am not using the raid software, just the PCI-E card drivers. So far so good. Nice fit and finish on the enclosure, although gloss black finish does show fingerprints. Comes with a wide range of drivers to support both 32bit and 64bit operating systems including server 2003. As an FYI, it takes FOREVER for the esata card driver to install. Something like 3-5 minutes.
