The machine is an old Dell Optiplex 755. I can see sometimes the CPU in

How many disks?
I have had good luck with using the linux built in raid.
For raid-1 the mdadm tools should be just as fast as any raid card that
you can get on a budget.
Raid-3 and above do better with the caching on higher end raid cards but
then your likely out of the $250 range.

be hardware RAID for that particular machine which is quite old. Can
anyone please recommend a reliable one, $250 or less?
Thanks!
