Thanks for the info. This will make it easier to find the right cards I don't want to appear lazy but finding the actual products is quite hard because most shops/vendors do not supply chipset iformation. So any furher information about actual models would be appreciated.

The areca cards look very good and are quite inexpensive when compared to other similar cards but they are way more expensive than e.g. mpi cards and a battery backup module for the builtin cache would also be needed. They would be my first choice for Raid cards that can do more than Raid1.
