Re: [gentoo-server] Sata controller for a backupserver!

[deadhead]

You've to decide if you want a SW o HW raid ;-) . The Sw way is cheaper 
then the HW one, but the second doesn't overload the CPU since all the 
work is done by the RAID controller. As many told you 3Ware and LSI are 
reliable pieces of HW. But if you really want a SW RAID, it's enought 
for you to buy a SATA/SCSI controller (not RAID, the kernel will do the 
dirty job!), if you haven't already one on your motherboard. It's better 
for you to buy a card with a chipset already supportedin the kernel.
