I plan on building a new HTPC next year with a RAID 1 setup using two 1TB hard drives. Although the motherboard I'm gonna stick in it is RAID capable (MSI 975X Platinum), I want a dedicated controller card for better read/write performance.
For about $150 - $175 (I wouldn't mind spending less though), which controller card(s) provides the best performance? Also, will that card be able to support two RAID 1 array? I don't want to do RAID 0+1, 1+0 or 10 when I decide to add another pair of 1TB drives.
Thanx
