Intel on-board raid vs Adaptec

I'm currently putting together a file/application server for a customer and am looking at the Intel S3420GP server board. I have always used Adaptec raid cards in the past but this time I'm considering just using the onboard raid.

The problem is that I can't find any reviews or specs about the Intel onboard raid. I'm a little leery of using it since I can find no information about it. Using the onboard raid would save me about 200$ over the Adaptec 2405.

I have always used Adaptec because I know they work and I never have any problems so I never tried another brand. My only experience with onboard raid was with a Dell server that a customer had crash a few years ago and I thought it was the most poorly designed user interface I had ever seen.

Any one have any thoughts on Adaptec cards vs Intel onboard raids?

Just google:

Note: You may need a computer hooked to the "ethernet to wireless adapter" to get it configured and working before you plug it into the TV.

Thanks for your input mccabe. I'm with you. I've had good luck with Adaptec so I'll just stick with that. I've had to replace hard drives in the past and rebuilding the raids was pretty easy and quick with Adaptec.
