Though I'm off the intention completely as it is, it seems like the RR cards
are a bit scary with these rather unknown caveats. Still wondering if this
issue with the RR cards also applies to any other SATA cards (like the
Rosewill RC-218/211 being discussed) or just certain RAID cards, if at all?

Thanks
