Hello again lol. After a got this from wubs only the other week, my my new home server spec changed somewhat, so I was left with no use for it sadly :(

Hmm, can't seem to find the box, but have all of the original cables still sealed and bios flashed to latest current version. Can provide same current drivers for bios. If I manage to find the box it will of course ship with that.

This card does work perfectly and is fast and will also work alongside other Highpoint etc raid controllers.

Hoping for £45 including delivery

Cheers for the troll post..

Have a read of this next time you post first, think later: http://forums.multiplay.co.uk/announcement.php?s=&forumid=39 ;)

Shows £80 new and that isn't the only place carrying them at that price.

£45 for a very good 4 channel dedicated ATA RAID controller including delivery is not steep at all unless you are Del Trotter.

They go for more on egay, but I merely thought as I was having a clearout I would put it on here first for someone like us that likes striping drives for game loading performance to benefit etc.

/me awaits next useful post.

Cheers,

The HPT 374 controllers are very good Culture. I have used them for my last 3 servers, in my original Phase change beast and this one took all the hammering that Wubs could give it when I fitted it in his phase change beastie. standard, striping, mirroring, it does tham all perfectly.

Cheers,

Nick :)
