Dear All,
Which model / type of ATA Raid card controller is good for work with New
FC System ?
Would you please recommend ?
Almost every 'raid' controller for ATA devices is just driver level raid,
so equivalent to using the built in lvm/md raid support that works with
any devices. At the high end there are a few hardware raid cards but they
rarely outperform ordinary ATA on PCI Express.

Hello Alan,
So, which type of raid adapter are you using ?
Thank for your help !
Edward.
Edward,
The cheapest 4-port raid cards are typically $300US, the 8-port cards are quite
a bit more. If you are a home user I would suggest not wasting your money on
the HW raid, and has others mentioned it is not really worth the extra money for
a home user, so use software raid.
Most of the cheaper cards are fakeraid and at best (if supported under DMRAID)
are only slightly better than software raid.
