Works pretty well btw, but all eight ports are filled hence the search for a new one. Preferably a newer generation with better specs. The Areca ARC-1300-4i listed on http://www.areca.us/products/sasnoneraid.htm looks interesting, as is the AOC-SASLP-MV8 listed on http://www.supermicro.com/products/accessories/addon/AOC-SASLP-MV8.cfm Thanks a lot for your input!
