Pros: Works great running my 2 Western Digital hard drives (WD2500KS). The software installation worked the first time and have been pleased on the performance. I upgraded from IDE hard drives and didn't have a mother board that would support 3gb/s sata2 disks. First time I've set up a raid array (0) and it worked perfect.
Cons: There is a problem with the highpoint drivers and Windows System Restore, which I had to do a little research. Here is the link to the solution: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322246/en-us
Overall Review: I think their website should post a link to this solution as well, in case others have the same problem.
