NO NO NO NO NO!!!!
Highpoint is a really bad idea.
Bought one this weekend and it didn't work.
Well... it kind of worked. It would only initialize on cold boot. I
moved it to another slot then it would initialize on warm boots. Never
did get it to execute the boot loader though.
Returned it and got a plain sata controller.
