The equipment is new. But the version of the map is very old (map v 1 and one is v2.1): first model of the type that has not changed appearance. So no sleep management (you must manually turn off the unit and not adjustable display is very bright) and there seems no management software interface. Performance is significantly different new versions of card and firmware. Raidon with several materials, I completely trust. I did not find any information on No. version before purchase. Only after, when problems with a HUB USB3 (bp xHCI driver) totally independent that I discovered the limitations of version 1 of the card dating seems there three years. The current version (v2.1) is probably one of (the) best type of equipment.
