Next order of business: setup a software RAID5/6 array.
Can anyone recommend a good PCI-X SATA II card? I'm leaning towards either the
Adaptec 2169300-R (I think is 2420SA)
-or-
3ware 9550SX-4LP
Anybody have any comments on either? Features, functionality, reliability, speed, driver support, 4 ports or 8 ports, RAID5 vs. RAID6, NCQ, etc.
Also, my server motherboard (Tyan Tiger MPX) only supports 64-bit/66MHz PCI-X, and both cards are rated for 133 MHz. PCI-X is supposed to dynamically scale from 133->66->33 depending on support. Will I have any problems with those cards?
Thanks!
