I currently have an openfiler setup with multiple RAID arrays on a Areca 1231ML 12 port card. These are all in a lga775 setup on a Norco -4220. My question is: Can I add an additional PCIe 8x Raid card (LSI 9260-8i), on the same mobo (The 2x PCIe 16x will be occupied by 2 diff RAID Controllers), to add 8 more drives?
If so, can I divert video to a cheap PCI gpu, since both PCIe lanes will be occupied by 2 diff controllers?
Btw, OS is in a separate IDE drive, outside of raid controllers...
