Recommendations for a RAID card please

[k-space]

I'm looking for some recommendations for a PCI RAID card from those in the know. It doesn't need to be anything fancy just functional. Its going in a pretty low powered server that I use for simple file storage.

Thanks,

Dane R. Vinson

IDE or SATA? Do you need RAID5?

Sorry, IDE for RAID 1. I have a couple of new but slow 5400 RPM IDE drives.

How much are you willing to spend?

I'd like to spend as little as possible that will get me something stable. Like I said the machine is pretty underpowered so I'd rather not spend a lot of money on it.

I think the one I am using now (Highpoint Rocket Raid 133) suits your need

It's not too expensive and it has good RAID1 performance. Its BIOS is also flashable.
