I know many of highpoint's drivers at least were binary-only.  If that's
the case, they may not have amd64 drivers, yet.  Even if they do, it could
be a continuing hassle, and I for one wouldn't risk my data behind
binary-only drivers.

That said, it's possible, especially for standard IDE use, that reverse
engineered libre drivers are available.

This is going on what I've read.  I have no direct knowledge, tho someone
else might.
