Looking for Hardware Recommendations

[Charles Wyble]

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.
