    "Inexpensive" true hardware RAID?

    Has anyone tried one of these adapters?

    Page not found – ARCO
    http://www.arcoide.com/products/raidcontrollers/525baymount.html


    According to the specs, it is OS Independent and Platform Independent, supporting up to 4 drives. However, the speeds top out at ATA-66.

    A quick search from resellers shows $231 for the card - would that put it towards the left side of the bell curve for prices of true-hardware raid?

              Well, Dr., could you disclose anything not disallowed by said NDA?

                  hmmm......

                  How about a card with a 32-256 meg SDRAM onboard disk cache?

                  Remote notification, management & recovery?

                      I see....curiouser and curiouser...

                      Why do I get this feeling that my quest for a good RAID card should wait awhile longer?

                              Update: check my post on the new Promise SX4000 RAID 0, 1, 3 & 5 card.

                              They released it sooner than I thought they would.
