Hey Guys,
I'm building a file server from spare parts and such. I've get tons of IDE drives lying around 20-80 gigs. I'd like to get a cheap and good raid controller for these drives. I will probably do a 3-4 drive raid 5. I'm using a standard desktop board from MSI that I have laying around and it just has standard PCI.
Thanks

4-drive, pata raid controllers, huh? I'd suggest either (in order of preference, least to most) the Highpoint 454 or 464, or software raid (on a non-hardware-raid card) under Linux (LSR). LSR will likely be the fastest and most flexible, but hardest to set up if you don't have experience with Linux.

 
I have no experience with linux. This will be a windows box.
Thanks
Anyone else have any ideas?
