Sounds interesting, BUT

What are you going to do to correct the bug in the promise controllers????? The original reason they were locked out. Now I agree that some of the newer models should have an updated chip without the problem. And Snap may have decided to keep it messed up to sell the newer models.

Another thing to consider. If you have a HD failure, and need to replace a drive. You may/will need to have a spare pre formatted drive from a 2200.
