Are highpoint controllers still bad, good, or just not as bad as the wiki states?

recently ended up setting up my NAS with a High Point RocketRaid 2720, which only after double checking after the hardware wiki article states that they would cause parity desyncs after rebooting, but having rebooted a couple of times now it still appears to work just fine.

 

So does it work or does it break in a more delayed fashion now?

Have you actually run non-correcting parity checks to verify it's ok?

They can cause sync and other issues like dropped disks and are not recommended, but they do work for some, so if you already have it might as well see how it goes.

I have not now that you've mentioned it, but it appears that my PCs lost power during the night so didn't notice anything until the morning when I wanted put some files on it, it's been running for a good while(~4 hours done and ~2.5 hours to go) with zero errors so far. But does that mean I'll have to rerun it one more time without parity correction and see if I get a different result since shouldn't just seeing the errors found be enough?
