I'm looking to update my FC4 box (home server) to SATA RAID 1, any
suggestions on the least painful low end RAID SATA card?
I would look at the 3ware 80062LPKIT PCI SATA Controller Card. It is a
$125 through newegg.
I have been using MD for ages with no complaints with SATA. I use cheap
controllers and LVM. No issues to worry about hardware compatibility.
My present system has on board for two drives and an add-in card for the
second two drives. md0 has one drive on the MB and one on the add-in
card. Same for md1.
If I want to add more drives, I just add another card and then move the
drives around. I just didn't want both drives on the same controller card.
I have looked at RAID cards for a file server but I am waiting for NCQ
to be common place and the prices to drop a bit. :)
