raid card purchase

[Just_Visiting]

I've been looking at the LSI 9260-4i for my new build. Newegg has them on sale. My plan is to use it with the new chenbro expander to go into my new norco 4224 running Openfiler. I have 5 new Hitachi 3TB's sitting here along with 16 1TB Western Digital WD1001FALS. My current box has 8 1TB's on a perc 5 card and will stay in production as a spare. I haven't picked up the chenbro expander yet so for now I'll only be using the 4 Hitachi drives.

Any other suggestions on a single port SAS RAID 6 card? I briefly looked at the following adapters:

adaptec 6405
3ware 9750-4i

9260 all the way. the raid 6 performance will be great.

SVHDC20 is the 20% off promo code for those looking to buy soon

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816118106 comes out to $255 without the cable. really good deal. buy the cable separately from monoprice or newegg, don't pay for the kit.

Definitely on the cable. No kit necessary. I'll probably make my purchase today.
