Areca heeft een dag of tien geleden een nieuwe firmware voor zijn sata-raid-adapters uit de ARC-11x0- en ARC-12x0 -series uitgebracht. Het gaat hier om kaarten die met een pci-x- of pci-e-interface zijn uitgerust en tussen de vier en vierentwintig SATA300-aansluitingen hebben. De downloads voor de verschillende typen raid-controllers kunnen opgehaald worden via deze directory op de Nederlandse ftp-mirror. Het changelog meldt, van oud naar nieuw, de volgende wijzigingen:
