Mac Pro RAID Card, July 27, 2008

The card does a good job once installed. Installation instructions are good. The actual installation is easy but a pain. You have to take most of the computer apart to get to the cable. At Apple's $999 it is severely over-priced. $775 through Amazon is better, but still too much. This really should be a $500 dollar unit for the capabilities it has.
