RAID HBA options
by Jim Curtis on Oct 21, 2009 at 4:23:23 pm

I currently have an Enhance ES8-MS RAID box, controlled by a HightPoint-Technology (HPT) RR3522.

HPT seems to be run by idiots. I have a list of grievances against this company. My first card failed, and it took them three weeks to get me a replacement... No cross shipping. The brand new replacement looks like it's going south after a week.

I'm thinking of cutting my losses by ditching the card in the dumpster and going with another company.

What, in your opinion, is the best card for me? I have the Mini-SAS connectors on the box, with 8 1 TB Barracuda SATA drives installed.

What manufacturer, and why? I want the best, not the cheapest. And I want to buy from a company that shows consideration for customers by offering excellent support.

Thanks,
Jim Curtis
