Just a side note on the PERC labelled cards: they don't have a JBOD
mode so you _have_ to use hardware RAID. This may or may not be an
issue in your configuration but it does mean that moving disks between
controllers is no longer possible. The only way to do a pseudo JBOD is
to create broken RAID 1 volumes which is not ideal.

which driver attaches to it?
pciids.sourceforge.net says this is a 1078 board, not a 1068 board.
please, be careful. There's too much confusion about these cards.
Sorry, that may have been confusing. We have the cheapest storage
option on the T610, with no onboard cache. I guess it's called the
"Dell SAS6i/R" while they reserve the PERC name for the ones with
cache. I had understood that they were basically identical except for
the cache, but maybe not.
Anyway, this adapter has worked great for us so far.
