My 2 cents. Our Proavio EB400CR Combo RAID is well liked by Adobe:

Our product has also been well received by film-maker Patrick Read Johnson.

So I got the Proavio with the High Point 4322 card. As I was setting up the raid, the card burnt out on me... I contacted highpoint and they agreed to let me RMA the card with the receipt waved. Took about 2 we | | | | |

Unfortunately that product cannot be used in a JBOD, or "Just a bunch of Disks" mode, as you've indicated.
Not to tout our own product, but this product:

One will be supported by ProAvio as their own (including cross-shipping), in addition to Areca's support. The other one - NewEgg a | | | | |

Box:
Get a proavio 6G box, not the 8ms, but the EB800ms. According to the specs this supports 6G drive speed. You want all 6G c | | | | |

Good price? by Todd Perchert on Jan 18, 2013 at 3:35:48 pm in the - ARRAYS & RAID Set-Up - Forum The Proavio should be able to, but I'm with Alex, not the RocketRaid card. With the Areca mentioned you should be able to do a single stream uncompressed 2k. With the Areca card, you should be able to get 700-800 MB/s, so just look at your data rate | | | | |

Good price? by Jaime Aguirre on Jan 17, 2013 at 10:58:08 pm in the - ARRAYS & RAID Set-Up - Forum I'm looking at a Proavio Editbox 8ms and a HighPoint RocketRAID 4322 with 2 x Mimi-SAS Cables for $450. No drives included. Would this be a good deal? How does it sound?
It looks like it is but I'm not 100% sure since there's not much info out the | | | | |

Are you not familiar with Proavio Storage products? A number of people have commented on our gear, with a 3 year warranty & 1 year advanced replacement & us standing behind our products you can't go wrong. | | | | |

I do remember in the end I gave up on the Areca and bought an ATTO R680. The ATTO is much more user friendly if you are not experienced setting a RAID | | | | |

Great write-up, and congrats on making it work.
The one thing I'd add to it, is for potential purchasers to consider an expander unit vs. a "dumb" box. Your current setup is "closed", no room to add more storage unless you add another RA | | | | |

the Areca 1882x card has the driver native in the MAC OS X 10.8 operating system. It is driver 1.3.5. If you download the Areca stuff from http://www.areca.com.tw, and don't UNCHECK the driver, when you want to intall MRAID, you will ove | | | | |

I'm using a ProAvio 800MS with Areca 1882x in a Sonnet Echo Express on Mountain Lion with no problem. In fact, it's feeding out to 4 rooms over ethernet using a Small Tree 6 port ethernet card. If any system should be kicking up errors, | | | | |

We have several Areca 1680x cards for our arrays. As these are EOL we got a 1882x. however it seems these need v2 PCI and our PC's XW8600 only have spare v1 slots. It says it should work in the manual with reduced performance but it is | | | | |
