I've used one that looked very similar to that third one - it was an
LSI chipset/driver. I vaguely recall some performance / reliability
issues (in terms of the drives actually getting detected - no data
corruption). It was a couple of years ago, so my memory could be

enough to accomplish a sufficiently broad range of tasks.
