GOOD: 16 drives, easy to upgrade RAM, good design by Areca. RAID arrays are compatible with the the other RAID controllers withing this family. NOT SO GOOD: It;s an older product and doesn't support SATA 3. However, it support drives over 2TB, Bottom line: it is a great piece of hardware RAID for storage, where volume is more important than performance. Great functionality for the price.

Its a great deal to pick up one of these used. They are pretty reliable and more flexible than using a Dell Perc card. The pre boot UI is easy to use and it took all of 2 minutes to configure it for JBOD. Its a little slow on boot but most are. Im currently using it in JBOD with a 24TB Linux RaidZ3 on a custom server. I especially like that the serial numbers are reported in the UI so that you can map the cables to the correct swap bay.
