I think they only sell 4-port and up.
For non-raid5, 3Ware is good enough, I think.
The larger Areca-cards can do RAID6, which gives more redundancy and a
performance-boost during array-rebuilds.
They also have an optional battery-backed-cache, which is lacking on
smaller 3Ware cards.
But this has got nothing to do with Proliants per-se ;-)
I'd try to get a Proliant with SCSI and ZeroChannel RAID.
cheers,
Rainer
