No, I wasn't, I still have to try that, but I nuked my filesystem, so I
have to rebuild my kernel... over NFS this time since I don't have any
filesystem modules anymore, so things are slow... it's been building for
an hour now.

I'll come up with the hdparm -g output and the results of this test with
the two different drivers tomorrow. 

also: on a side note, let me state again, that I'm extremely displeased
with highpoint at this point... their whole 'open source linux drivers'
thing is beginning to piss me off more and more. There must be something
that can be done about this? OSI perhaps?
