Looking for an inexpensive 4-port RAID controller card for SATA II (3Gbps). I am using 5400RPM drives for my Windows Home Server 2011. My motherboard has six ports, one for the system drive, five for a RAID 5 array, and have three more drives I want to plug into the four port RAID card with room to add one more drive later if I so desire.
I see several PCI cards, but few PCI Express ones. Seems PCI would be to slow to manage four cards in RAID 5. Then again, RAID 5 isn't really for throughput, more about redundancy.
