Hello, Does anyone have recommendations on which SATA RAID PCI controller cards should I look for a 4-disk mirror array?
I got a recommendation for LSI Logic MegaRAID SATA 150-4 64-bit PCI ( http://tinyurl.com/2zkljw) but need to find an explanation why that controller and not something other (cheaper? better?). I remember one of the (PostgresQL?) people at LCA-2007 mentioned a good RAID controller but can't remember which (some Diamond card?) and how it stacks up against the LSI above. The intended use right now is for some file-archive server with important files on it (hence the redundancy requirement). I was thinking of using Linux software RAID (Debian Etch) but was very sternly warned not to do that on a production system.
