Hey guys, whats the word on the 5k4000 and 7k4000 drives? Do they play nice with areca? They're not available where i live right now, but for whatever reason the $/GB ratio is better than the 5/7k3000 drives... I'm in the market for hdd's now and really dont know what to do. Judging by this...

oh, i didnt consider the fact that it might work as a switch, legitimate question then i guess.

Im nitpicking here, but only one of the external 8088s is an out port. The second out port is internal and 8087. I'd test but i dont have a 8088 cable. Have you contacted chenbro about dual linking? (Is 24gbit not enough?)

I got a CK23601 36port one. connected it to the 1880i and connected some random old drives. The raid controller didnt fret and the drives showed up just fine. I havent tried newer drives, but i cant see why they wouldnt work.

A UK shop will sell it for £295+VAT, so $300 isn't that unlikely.

Didnt feel like resurrecting the chenbro thread, so excuse me this is the wrong thread. Anyone have experience with the Chenbro CK12804 28 port expander? And in particular in combination with the 1880i. The sites compatibly .pdf says it works with 1680ix/LP, but it hasnt been updated since...

The card he used is $250 and i'd like to know where you can find a 8port sata / 2 port sas card thatll perform 3-4 times better :) Or perhaps im just not understanding your statement.

So the 1800 series will be PCI-E 2.0, but is there any word on whether or not it'll be backward compatible PCI-E 1.x? I'm not exactly in the mood for even more upgrades.
