Hello Stuart,
Thanks for your reply. Yes i was looking on DELL servers too, but here
is one BUT :) DELL server i must buy from shop, but other servers i can
get from starage, difference in prices is about 15-20% :) But i will
look for separate PERC RAID controller :) And btw, are they comaptible
with any manufacturers server, or only with DELL?
I didn't see that posts about intel RAID controllers, sounds good for me. :)
Thanks :)

If it's not possible to buy from another country, you might try
looking for Dell PERC cards, which are rebranded LSI. You could try
these companies:

Fujitsu-Siemens also use LSI raid controllers (though I think Dell
might be easier to find in Latvia).
If you read http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd-misc&w=2&r=1&s=srcu42l&q=b
Diego says SRCU42L works ok for him. But I think that you should continue to
look for an LSI card if you can - bioctl is useful.
