And from my experience with high point controller and Seagate Barracuda ATA
II, the controller card cannot handle 2 drives even there are supposedly 2
separated channel. I had a lot of soft errors when doing large data
transfer. At the end I have 1 card for 1 hdd. It works fine however, the
system hangs after 2 -3 weeks uptime.

Am I correct to say it is not prime time for production yet.

Any one has any experience with the scsi raid setup whether it is ready for
prime production use
