Hardware RAID controller questions - 3Ware vs RocketRaid

[Konference]

Hi
and what about Areca? Natively supported via arcmsr driver.

For SATA II
http://www.areca.com.tw/products/pcie.htm
(ARC-1230, ARC-1260)
or
http://www.areca.com.tw/products/pcie341.htm

On one installation I have successfully set up RAID5
with 8x 1TB SATA II drives on ARC-1220, approx 6.5TB filesystem

regards
Jiri
