Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

The 2200/2300 series highpoints are nice but sata. Do you already have the IDE disks yet, or would buying sata be an option?
There's really not much out there that I can recommend for ide hardware raid. The Highpoint IDE series is probably okay, but I haven't used it.

That board has firmware SATA 4-drive RAID 5 support. ATA->SATA adapters might be usable, but I'd worry and generally prefer native SATA if reliability is important (as is implied by RAID 5).
Low-end RAID cards will all be some form of software RAID -- I'm not sure which if any will exceed the built-in performance. A better solution of course would be a higher-end HW RAID controller, which would have better performance, probably better management and features, and greater number of ports for expandability.

Yes. Write performance is ridiculously good, if you don't mind the CPU usage. They got ~350 MB/s write at 100% CPU usage on a single Opteron 240.Madwand said:

Guys, SATA is a type of ATA. ATA does not mean PATA, but PATA is also a type of ATA.

I have a promise fastrax sx4000 for sale. I will even throw in the 128MB stick of RAM for the cache. It can do RAID 0, 1, 0+1, 5, JBOD. I paid aroud 200 brand new. I'm selling it for 50 bucks.

Of course, what they really mean is that "We screwed up on the price, and you can't have it for that, but you can for $350 CAD. We hope you don't mind us wasting your time on this, and would really like more money."
