Hi there.

I have an IBM Netfinity 5000 server I just picked up, and it has an
Adaptec AAA-131U2 (aic7815 chipset) RAID card in it, attached to 5 IBM
Branded (Seagate ST39204LC) Hot Swap Ultra160 9.1gig SCSI Harddrives.

My question is, since that chipset is unsupported for hardware RAID,
would I be better off to software RAID them, or get a different RAID card?

Contingent question is, if I should get another RAID card, what would
be a good, supported, entry level card?  This server will be purposed
as a webserver for a small webhosting company, maybe 100 sites on it.
Running Postfix,Bind,Apache2,PHP,Postgresql,etc

Thanks for the help!
