    I'm using two HighPoint Ultra 100TX controller (PDC20268) with 2
    channels each supporting 4x200GB Maxtor drives. Under 2.6 these
    controllers have been quite straight-forward. I do, however, remember
    some initial trouble under 2.4 (which drivers to include, etc.) and some
    trouble getting the DMA to turn on automatically (hdparm + init solved
    that one). Other than that they have behaved exemplary.

    (My post of some weeks back where the wrong drive was marked as failed
    by mdadm I don't think was due to the controller.)
