Reviewers here don't like it. Many had problems with the
mechanical fit of the card, into the motherboard slot.

One reviewer also commented it wasn't any faster than the
motherboard RAID.

I expect it might be different, if you bought one of their
higher end cards that supports more disks. For example,
hardware RAID5 (with a cache DIMM and XOR unit) should be
faster than software RAID5 on the motherboard.

RAID 5 is too much for my home PC. I rather rely on regular backup.

Thanks for the information.
