Hello fellow listers...
I'd like to get some recommendations on a good SATA controller for
use with CentOS 5.x. It should be PCI, bootable, have 4 SATA ports,
have native support (no crap proprietary or manually compiled
drivers), and possibly hot swap support. Any ideas?
There are plenty of PCI-X and PCIe controllers that I think would
work but the use for this card is in a smaller 1U server that is
quite cramped, hence the query for a standard PCI card.
Use the onBoard SATA-ports and do a software RAID1.
If you can use PCIe, get an Areca card (they also do PCI-X).
Otherwhise, I wouldn't bother, except for maybe 3Ware cards - but if
you think about a card already, Areca should be better.
