OK whilst i was ordering a few bits and pieces i spotted one of these:
http://www.xfxforce.com/web/product/listConfigurations.jspa?seriesId=66&productId=834
to cut a long story short i thought i would risk it and see if it would work as either a very cheap RAID 3 card or a cheap SATA controller card.
Popped it in my NASLite 2.02 USB test box and up came the SyncRAID BIOS.
Nice i thought.
Configured 2 500GB drives a two seperate RAID 0 arrays...
Nice i thought to myself again.
Booted NASLites....
... nothing.
Here is my syslog (cut down), can anyone say definatively from this that its just not supported.
Kudos.
