True, but I was getting it by mail, as there were no RAID cards I could
find in the computer souq where I was at the time in the Middle East. :/
We'll suffice it to say, I didn't purchase another thing from that
vendor again.

A bit further OT, any recommendations on a good RAID card for my next build?
Other than that mess of a RAID card purchase (actually, two cards at the
time), the last RAID machine I built used an old AAA-133U2 (still have
the card around here somewhere).
Though, for my next build project, I might just go with a small SAN and
lighter drive array in the servers.
