Either you use hardware raid or you skip that and run software. My self would never go over to software based raid if its not just for mirroring rootdisks or data that isnt that importent.

Raphael H. Becker, and lo! it spake thus:

Note that this:

3ware:
 * 3ware Raid Controller Escalade 8006-2LP, 2 Channels,  about 130-150 EUR

is a "real" hardware RAID controller, while I'm pretty sure that this:

highpoint:
 * RAID S-ATA Highpoint Rocketraid 1640, 4 Channels, ca 100 EUR

is a more "software"-ish (I think the xxxxA Highpoints are the
hardware-ish ones).  Not that that's necessarily good or bad either
way; just a point.


Any experience with theese controllers?  Any other
manufacturers/models in the range between 100 and 200EUR for 2
disks?
PS: 100 EUR = 121.26 USD

Well, I've got a server running on a Promise (TX2200, maybe?) 2-port
SATA, which cost me about US$50.  It's software-ish, but pretty well
supported.
