I am getting 3 intel X25e SSD's and am planning on running them in RAID0. There are so many RAID adapters out there and I'm not sure whether to go with 3ware, Adaptec, etc...
Also SAS cards will work with SATA drives, right? Cause in that case I would probably prefer to buy an SAS card to help me in the long run if I keep this card for a long time.
I'm looking for something thats at least PCI-e 4x. But when it comes to Intel SSD's, should I go w/ 8x? Or are most server level cards at 8x already?
Do Areca cards work well with Intel SSD's? Are there any known compatibility issues with RAID cards and SSD's?
Why 3? 4 will be coming soon. This is for an all in one gaming/Office rig. Serious replies only.
