But I don't want RAID 10, it wastes too much space and costs half my speed. I NEED speed and I NEED space, what I don't need is data security, I'm gonna capture from timecoded tape, if the data goes away I can get it back, no big whoop. Like I wrote in a different post video is a different world.
I'd forgotten to look at Newegg, they have a good selection of controllers. For my needs it looks like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816150021 might be acceptable. I agree that I don't want a super cheap controller but SIIG is a good name, wish it had 4 ports. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816122015 This Sonnet card does, I've heard good things about them but never used their products. This discussion has helped me to narrow down my requirements, I'd like a 4 port card, hardware RAID is unnecessary, and I'd like to have the price around $100. -Curt Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2009 20:47:24 -0500 From: "Tom Hargrave" <tharg...@hiwaay.net> Subject: Re: [MBZ] SATA controller?

Stay away from the cheap controllers - they are junk. Also, you want a true hardware RAID controller. Here's a good one for 2 drives: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816116030 If you want to get real serious, here's a 12 port RAID card that should perform well: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816116057 Thanks, Tom Hargrave www.kegkits.com http://www.kegkits.com/JABF/ 256-656-1924 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
