I had to sent mine back to them because I thought that I had a problem with it.

It turned out to be I didn't have a big enough power supply to power both the
drive and the interface.  The sent it back to me after testing it, UPS 2'nd
day.
Bought a new case and power supply for the drive, and everything works fine.

In my manual they have a section warning you to make sure that any memory
boards that you put on the bus are first.  I tried to put my starboard after
the interface, and it wouldn't boot.  The LED would just flash.
