Any suggestions?

I have seen these going on ebay. anything i should or shouldnt look for?

I am buying 2 Savvio 15k 74gb drives, and plan on two more in the future to RAID 0 so I have to have 4 ports.

PERC6E SAS RAID Controller 2x4 Connectors PCIe 512MB


LSI MegaRAID LSI00118 SAS RAID Controller 3Gbps 8344ELP
 
FYI: The dell Perc 5/i and 5/e are rebadged LSI units.

I am very happy with my Perc 5/e. Just be warned that they have issues with some motherboards/chipsets. However this can be fixed with a small modification. Be sure to check out the forums on 2cpu.com for information.
