Whoa there, tex. The Highpoint controllers can be used with Linux software raid to greater advantage than the standard raid controllers; they provide better performance. In other words you don't run them native, you run them with SW raid, and you end up with a better setup. Meanwhile that leaves the two original vanilla IDE channels open for other uses.
