I would like to install Storare RAID card on Asus X79 Deluxe and would like to have a suggestions which card will be best for RAID1 configuration for Marvel Serial ATA 6 Gb/s connectors.
Motherboard specification can found here:

What I understand is this board has 6 Serial ATA connectors details below:
1. Intel®X79 Serial ATA 6Gb/s connectors (7-pin SATA6G_1/2 [black]
2. Intel® X79 Serial ATA 3Gb/s connectors (7-pin SATA3G_3/4; SATA3G_5/6 [black]
3. Marvell®Serial ATA 6Gb/s connectors (7-pin SATA6G_E12; SATA6G_E34 [dark brown])
4. ASMedia®Serial ATA 6Gb/s connectors (7-pin SATA6G_E56 [dark brown])
As I would like to install 2 x 4 TB disks in Raid1 and was thinking to get best performance should
use the Marvel Serial ATA ports and would like to understand which Storage RAID controller
will give the best performance, I am willing to spend upto £300 for this.
These are extra questions for my unerstanding:
1- In raid controller can you mix Intel, Marvel or ASMedia SATA connectors or not.
2- Second questions is what type of disks should I buy as these disks will be doing quite a
lot of read write as will be used for database so will like to buy best possible (Business class)
disks ( 2 x 3 TB).
Any suggestions and recommendations will be appreciated. Any thing extra in terms of setting up raid would be beneficial.
Thanks
