Yup - I'd never use the RAID functions of a cheap card. Indeed, I've
even gone away from using it on expensive cards as unless you're
prepared to keep a spare card in stock, you're screwed, with your
data lost in space, if the card goes.

That's the way I feel too, but from what I read, their current SATA
kit is OK, modulo staying away from the fakeRAID.
