Ah, I should have specified the illusion of electronic goods being 
cheaper in this duty free haven :D

Heh, the pricing I got was from the local distributor who was also the 
local distributor in Shenzen.

Even the proximity with Taiwan didn't make much of a difference with 
Areca cards...they are pretty much the same as the 3ware cards...I guess 
that means the vote is for 3ware :P given the maturity of their drivers 
and the whole known stability their cards have :) whereas Areca is 
pretty much unexplored territory for me.

None at the moment. I was just wondered what, if any, differences there 
would be if I bought one card here.
