Default HighPoint RocketRAID 2310

Once synonymous with servers, RAID has made its way into the mainstream thanks to the inclusion of onboard controllers by the motherboard manufacturers. Can a dedicated card make much of a differance to system performance? Along with High Point, we intend to find out.

You can read the full review here and discuss it here!

Default RR 2310 Question

I was just going to purchase a 2310 to create a RAID 5 storage array on my home PC...

The 2310 seemed to have the best bang for the buck from the other manufacturers I had researched (plus the english user manual can actually be read clearly and seems to be well thought through and precise)...

Is there a chipset limitation (North or Suthbridge) for this board that you are aware of?

When I looked at the motherboard compatibility list on their website it seems to be quite short...

I'm assuming that it will probably work on any board with a PCI-E slot but I don't want to buy the card and find out it won't work with my particular setup...

ASUS A8V-E SE
AMD 3800 X2
2GB DDR 400 RAM
36GB WD Raptor (OS Win 2K)
3 WD 5000 AAKS (SATA II)

Your thoughts on this would be appreciated...

THX

In all honesty, I cant see any obvious limitations that would prevent you running this card on any motherboard with an open slot. That said, I just lobbed out a question to Hi Point to see if there is anything to their short list of compatible motherboards or if they are just not updating it like they should.

Default Thanx

Hi:

I too had sent an e-mail to High Point asking them if there was any reason to fear the reaper regarding the purchase of their controller card so I'll let you know what I get in response...

Cheers

Default Windows XP driver doesn't install

The card just keeps getting recognized as a "SCSI controller". XP doesn't recognize the drivers as drivers, even. It won't select them even if I point the "Found New Hardware" dialog box to the Win_XP directory.

How are you getting this working in XP?
