I have one too - fairly happy (just having some raid5 resync issues but
I'm doing some diagnostics and I doubt it's the card) :)
I have wondered whether I'd have been better off with 2x Promise TX2s?
I don't know where the bottleneck is with 4xSATA disks on a single
Promise/PCI slot
Or is it a single pci bus in which case the TX4 is fine?
