Guess I was wrong about the whole 'Port Multiplication' thing, if it |
| 8 |
works in that mode. |

Still, the original post also mentions that it's an H/W RAID |
| 11 |
controller, so I guess the problem can be negated just by packing disks |
| 12 |
into RAID0 or linear array, so it'll be one channel instead of three |
| 13 |
separate ones. |

Kinda curious about it's performance - H/W RAID cards seem to be more |
| 16 |
expensive than fifty pounds and this one shouldn't have any interface |
| 17 |
to draw power from CPU via OS drivers. |
