And this card is definitely not crap.

I've been doing some digging... Seems like ALL Adaptec SATA and SAS RAID (or not RAID) controllers make use of Adaptec's own closed-source drivers.. *sigh* Where did you read that? Most of Adaptec's hardware raid cards use the aacraid driver that's part of the kernel. The link I posted certainly shows a card that does - I've used many of them, as well as their SCSI cousins (I can't comment on SAS - never tried it)
The only issue when you use a card to upgrade the disc setup on an older installation, the aacraid module might not have support for the newer card. Mantel's kernels used to be useful for that.
Anyone with opinions on Highpoint vs. Adaptec? Adaptec. My experience with Highpoint has been no better than with Promise. But that's just my 2c
