It's still useful, but why invest in an older technology when the newer technology is there and doesn't cost more?
Because it *does* cost more and doesn't (in my case) provide anything special I need feature wise. I already had a nice hot swappable 2U case with dual p/s, a not incredibly old server motherboard, dual core CPU, memory et al available. For an incremental cost of about $460 dollars I bought an Areca 1120 PCI-X controller to match my existing hardware rather than buying more like two thousand dollars in new hardware to do exactly the same thing, at pretty much the same performance level.
