One word says it all: Intel. Long a prominent word in processors, Intel uses that strength to make this RAID card a true powerhouse. The built in processor and memory has the must have benefit of not taking up any of your system's resources. While eight internal SATA II connections is an exceptional boon, without the processor and memory it'd be a drag on your system's performance.
For added safety, an optional battery backup unit provides 72 hours of data retention, and an audible alarm to warn you of problems without you needing to be at the computer. When you get this card, you aren't getting just a great name, you're getting excellent quality and performance.
