Cheapest Raid 5 Card worth it? 43 bucks

Hi all,
I saw this on eBay and I'm wondering if it's worth it? Pretty cheap in my opinion. It's SATA and it's PCI.

I knew that card looked familiar.

Get the new BIOS and RAID 5 drivers for the card...

Edit:

$35.91 + $8.49 = $44.40

or

$21.50 + $4.50 = $26.00

Oh, I know.

But seriously, I haven't picked up that card yet because I haven't had the cash to pick up a few disks for my own RAID5 array. I have done the research, so I was more than glad to clue you in as well.
