Hey, i've been searching the internet now for 2 days and i can't seem to find what i need.
I'm running an old AMD athlon 1800+ as a small server at my house, and i want to run RAID 5 on it.
Now, the motherboard doesn't have PCI-X on it, so I'm needing a PCI controller card, but it also has to be hardware RAID because the CPU won't handle that and everything else.
Is there a 4-port SATA 300 hardware RAID 5 PCI controller anywhere?!?
The closest i've found is this:
PROMISE FastTrak TX4310 Serial ATA-300 PCI RAID Controller, Quad Channel.
But that's apparently basically just a software controller.
Any help would be much appreciated...
Thanks,
Paul
