Promise SuperTrak100

[mjdunn]

I am looking for an IDE RAID5 Controller. I am looking at the Promise SuperTrak100. I would like to know if anyone has had bad or good luck with it.

Thanks,
Matt

This came out a few days ago, but check out the review on www.storagereview.com

3ware (@hypermicro)
2 channel: $125
4 Channel: $229

4 Channel: $390

There is a review on hardware-one also.
