Found this in the review section: Cons: New cards seems to have a Winbond W39F010 BIOS chipset which is not supported by Silicon Image or Syba -- which means you can *NOT* upgrade this card. The card will more than likely come with a BIOS from 2006, the latest is from 2010 and even then if you want to remove the "RAID" functionality (I use these in a ZFS system so pseudo-hardware raid is useless to me and slows down boot time) you cannot.
Personally I would steer clear of it.
