Hi Muhammad,
I have currently the following in production:
(Proxmox VMs on ceph storage, RAID only for boot/root/swap partition)
- PERC H200A - no battery
- IBM ServeRAID 8k (Adaptec) 256MB BBC
- PERC H730 1GB NV
- PERC H710 512MB NV
(RAID for VMs and system)
- PERC H710 512MB NV
Try to avoid PERC H310, I had reliability issues with drivers in
2.6.32/3.10 kernels (it would work/not work randomly on each reboot)
Cheers
Eneko

Some of the new raid controllers replaced the battery with a ssd.
With proper hardware raid, your raid should be transparent to the OS.
We have been using proxmox with proper hardware raid for years.
