for that price i like :)

400$ is only 2-3 times more expensive than four 2-channel dump IDE
controller while occupying 1 PCI slot, accepting many command at once etc.
when i will need large system i would use it.

unfortunately i could not find anything about memory on this card.
if it have no memory (only on-chip buffers) how RAID-5 writes is done?
