Amazing value for money. I'm using this on the Asus P6T Deluxe v2 X58 motherboard with 4 Seagate Barracuda 500GB 7200.12 hard drives for general purpose storage and high definition video editing. The RAID 0 array was fairly simple to setup after stumbling around the RAID BIOS GUI. It has been running for 10 months+ without any problems at all. It adds exactly 14 seconds to boot time, which is not much. When SSD's eventually drop in price and increase in capacity, they are an obvious upgrade path as this card has incredible low latency to meet unique requirements of SSD's (with 6Gb/s interface support to boot). Nothing this inexpensive provides near the performance.

Works great with unRaid which is based on Linux. Everyone that says it doesn't work with Linux has no clue what they are talking about or what they are doing. I have had this installed and running since 2010 with no issues.




I purchased this controller to connect a Icydock 4-disk external enclosure via eSATA to a Ubuntu-based KVM host. The RocketRAID 642L is an actual RAID controller rather than a 'fakeraid' adapter like you see on most of the Sil-based adapters. It took some effort to get it working, but it was worth it. HighPoint's tech support is fantastic. They were extremely responsive and were able to provide updated driver source-code as well as suggestions to resolve my issue. Great guys for sure.
