if you could find a cheap Highpoint 2320 it would be good, will have to keep looking

will the set up with the raid card and port multipliers work?

this would be better because then drives could be set up in groups of 5 and only cost about $600 for every new bank of them.

is it a performance thing with the Highpoint 2320 vs raid and PMs or just price?
