You are welcome...
I personally like the Areca controllers. I think OOB management for RAID controllers is a must have feature.
I've had major problems with the Adaptec Storage Manager not sending email based alerts because you have to have the GUI running constantly on a node. In addition, on the Areca controllers I can schedule bi-weekly checks of my RAID5 volumes.

I have several Areca controllers and haven't had one failure yet.
