My conclusion:
B
Marco's suggestion that I look for cards with the letters IR/IS or IM led me
to
buy a Fujitsu LSI MegaRAID 1064 Part-NoS26361-F3257-L4 which has the -IR in
its
firmware name and a SAS1064LE chip.
It looks good but I'm still waiting for the SAS -> SATA cable which I forgot
to
order with the card.
B
Jurjens suggestion to buy an HP EH417AA is also great, since it is easily
available and is in the same price range as the Fujitsu.
B
The more expensive Areca cards I leave for the more serious Raid enthusiasts
:-)
B
Thanks for your help everybody,
B
