I had just about decided to upgrade my onboard RAID5 (on Asus P5B Deluxe) in my main home system and use the Areca 1220 so I could add another drive to the array as well as get better performance than the onboard RAID would allow for.
Then I saw the blurb on the frontpage about the HighPoint 4320 SAS/SATA card this morning. The price is definitely right and the card does use a faster I/O processor than the 1220 as well. Plus, being a SAS card, that gives me more options in the future.
So what are peoples thoughts on the 4320 vs. the 1220? Also, does anyone have any recommendations on the correct SFF-8087 to multi SATA cable for the 4320?
Thanks!
