Message-ID: <4FDEDE3A.7030507@psi5.com> (raw)
My company got hold of a Highpoint DC7280 for evaluation purposes. As we
weren't that much impressed - mostly due abysmal propetiary drivers and
support - I got it as a toy gift to play at home.
Abstract in novella form: it is a dirt cheap 32 Port SATA-Controller. It
features eight Marvell Chips each with a four port SATA Port Multiplier.
Highpoint has abandoned all support (as usual) right a week before
releasing it and the driver - dated 2011-06 - needs even some fiddling
to compile under 3.0. Then it crashed upon writing. Besides that it is
not THAT bad... gets around 250MB/s per Controller even with all eight
controllers under maximum load.
Is anyone else poking it with a stick?
