what is a good RAID 1 PCI card (PCI slot)? I plan to set up 2 160 gb WD (ATA 100) in RAID 1. I really do not want to spend a ton, but if it could be under $50, it would be awesome, or under $100 would be okay. Thanks. Specs of system the card and 2 hdd are going into are in sig.

A link would be awesome (NEWEGG etc.) but I will take whatever information you can give me.
 
SATA, IDE, SATAII, what. And what type of slot, pci, pci-x, pci-x133, pci-e. We need more details friend.
 
edited post to show relevant info. NOTE I changed it to RAID 1 ( I brainfarted when my first post said RAID 0). The main purpose of this is to protect my data from being lost (RAID 0 would not accompish that). Thanks.
 
Judging by what was said (assuming it can be taken literally), I'm guessing he's looking for an IDE (P-ATA100) RAID card, for use in a standard 32-bit, 33MHz PCI slot.

I can't comment on the performance of this card, but I would expect it to be good. Google around and see if you can find any reviews.

Here is the ATA100 version

Or if you decide to use ATA133 or something, here is that model too.

WD 160 gb HDD

This is the hdd i will be using. It is ultra ata/100 (i think that is what it says). In that case i should go for the rocketraid 100. Or is ultra ata/100 = ata/133 (not sure what that ultra means). Since it is ultra does that change the RAID card choices? Thanks
