Just not the Syba branded 3132 card. The Addonics branded 3132 card is available down under: http://www.techbuy.com.au/p/127742/HARD_DISK_CONTROLLERS_SERIAL_ATA_RAID_CONTROLLERS/Addonics/AD2SA3GPX1.asp Addonics is probably a more trusted brand than Syba anyway, being based in Silicon Valley, not China or Taiwan. -- Stan
