I am looking to setup a RAID-1 on my system using a controller. My onboard controller let me down once and I need to spend the money to get something decent.

Can someone please recommend one? My budget is $100 - $150.
I have seen several makes and colors...sizes...etc and not sure of what to pick.

Need something solid.

Thanks
 
How many drives are you using? If its just 2, then you can get what blue fox posted (not sure how good it is, but its as good as you'll get in the price range for hardware raid). If you need more than 2 drives, you'll have to cough up quite a bit more unfortunately.
 
Initially I will have RAID 1 setup with 2 drives and eventually I may add one RAID 0 to it.
If price would not be an issue - what would you suggest?
 
k thanks for the info - i have decided to wait until I have $350 or so and get a 4 port true hardware raid card...probably best choice.
 
You can always get a PERC 5/i off eBay. Shouldn't run you more than $150.

What was your onboard controller? I've had a good experience so far with the ICH9R on the mobo doing RAID-1 in one of my PC's.
