Okay, yes, well, the U320 variant of the embedded RAID I've managed to get into a pretty poor state (yes, on my list). The SAS/SATA version hasn't even been tested by me. Others have tried it with varying degrees of success. Also on my list. I was actually surprised it worked at all. For now- in a word- "don't". If it works for you great, but management/info is almost nonexistent. -matt
