I have seen alot of really funny things on several of the different hw/sw raid controllers (not just highpoint's) if you attempt to use a disk that someone has already tagged as raid disks, even on the same controller it gets interesting if you attempt to use them non-raid. I would be interested in knowing if the open source driver can successfully driver those boards. Roger
