I am looking for a RAID5 or RAID6 controller which I can hook up 8 SATA drives to.

I currently have my eyes on the 9650SE-8LPML.
I am either going to hook up a bunch of 1TB or 1.5 TB to it.

If you guys have any recommendations that would be great.
 
well i am looking for data protection mainly, hence raid5/6
do you have any recommendations though?
 
i have looked at that one as well, its good as far as what ive read, thanks.
i am currently trying to look for something on ebay to save some cash too.
 
Adaptec 3085 is cheap on Ebay. It's external though. It was so cheap that I bought it and am looping the cables back inside my case. Messy, but saved me money.

If you go RAID-5 or 6 with it (or any RAID card), you'll need the battery for decent write performance, which usually runs around $100.
 
i have seen that batteries and am a bit confused on what the actual purpose of them are?
i do have a UPS for my server.
 
a few do come to mind, i have had very good results with the rocketraid 3520...for HDD that controller will suit you very well
 
well i am assuming that you are saying it sucks for SSD then..
but i have no plans on SSDs for storage anyways :)
