Hi,

It's been far too long since I built my last PC, so I am a little rusty.

I am looking at a Lian Li v2000 and filling the 12x 3.5" slots with 500Gb SATA drives.
I want to have a RAID-5 set across 11 of them with the 12th acting as a 'hot-spare'

Is there a RAID card out there that will do this?
Can you suggest an alternative.?

Thanks

Wiz
 
Yes, the 12 port Areca cards will do that. They are quite expensive. In fact, most 12-port hardware raid cards should handle that fine.
 
Thanks for the reply.
Your not joking when you said they were quite expensive! 600ukp for the ARC-1230 model.
Ouch.
