The first one I think is actually the 5805 (as all of the ports are internal) but I can vouch that this is an excellent card. The only thing I would question is why it is so cheap, as they normally retail for about £300. Either way with a raid 5 setup and 3 spinpoin t f3s I get about 250MB/s, which will max out your gigabit ethernet connection, obviously if you have a 10Gbps ethernet, then you shouldn't be lookin at WHS.

My server runs on the adaptec card, although you should buy a battery backup unit for the card for data intergrity purposes.
