Raid Controller

[RichPLS]

Anyone have experience with http://www.netcell.com/ RAID controllers? I am seriously considering the http://store.syncraid.com/sr5000.html controller.
I am intersted in reliability and performance.

My rig is a GA-8KMNXP Ultra-64, P4-3200, 2-gig Corsair 3200XLPro, ATI Radeon X800XT (on backorder), 1 Raptor 74gb boot drive and 3 Maxtor Plus II 250gb drives for data.

Have you thought about getting a motherboard that has on-board RAID? In most cases, this is cheaper.

GA-8KNXP Ultra 64 has onboard RAID, but I want the security and reliablility even if board goes south. Just move RAID card in on new board to continue. Plus, hardware RAID uses less overhead than software versions onboard provides.
I would like to know if anyone has any experience with this brand of RAID cards, Netcell.
The specs look great, and Toms rated them good 6 months back. But I have not seen computer builders offering them.
