Hi guys, i can't decide which raid card to get and i would love some input from you guys. The card will be featured in my ESXi server and mainly handle my archive.
Either the Areca ARC-1882i or the LSI 9271-8i?
ARC-1882i pros/cons
+dedicated lan port for management
+cheaper than the LSI card
-slightly slower performance than the LSI card
LSI 9271-8i pros/cons
+cachevault backup unit
+faster than the areca card
-More expensive than the areca card
Did i miss anything?
Or should i go the sas3/12gbs route? If so, how many regular 7200rpm drives do i have to connect to the card to be able to see the speed difference between sas2 and sas3?
