[WISHLIST]
I'm having a little trouble with my Samsung SH-S203B Optical Drives and the aficionados over at cdfreaks.com suggested I might have better performance if they weren't on the same SATA chipset as the RAID controller. That and the fact that I'm not thrilled with the measely 128kb stripe size on the built-in RAID controller of my motherboard has made me look for a new RAID controller for my rig. However, it seems like the prices are all over the board and the cards that seem to do everything I need are several hundred dollars more than the other, cheaper models that are missing a feature or two.
Any recommendations for good quality / not necessarily "server quality" PCI-e RAID controllers for 4+ SATA drives would be most appreciated...
- Supports at least four SATA II / 300
- PCI-e (preferably 4x or 8x if cheap enough)
- Supports RAID "0+1" - not RAID 10
- Supports 512kb sized stripes (or larger)
