I'm currently using the sil3112a controller on my NF7-S, but I'm tired of the constant driver bugs and data corruption that I get on the newer bioses, so I'm looking for a permanent, good solution. The only card I've found from a reliable retailer is the "HIGHPOINT ROCKETRAID1520", is this card any good for RAID0 in comparisson to others? The only other option is a "Vision Promise (SATA) Serial ATA FastTrak S150TX2". The Highpoint is quite a bit cheaper than the Promise, but I don't know how well the perform against eachother, or any other raid cards for that matter. Any input is appreciated.

*Edit: using 2 WD Raptor 36gb's, RAID0

I'm pretty sure the Highpoint uses bridges, The HPT374 chipset was originally a 4 channel IDE RAID controller.

I'm not sure, but im almost positive that any of Highpoints controllers based off of it will use an IDE to SATA bridge. Thus you will not be able to fully benefit from some of the native SATA features like command queueing that the Raptor will support since it is a pure SATA drive.

I know nothing about the promise.
 
Anyone else familiar with the promise or any other controllers I should attempt to find?
