Im thinking about getting a RAID controller for my PC for storeage as i have a lot of data and RAID would make it more fault torrelernt. Any recommendations??
 
yes it is, cause i was gonna use raid 5, which is fault tolorent :p (i work with servers i know) but as far as personal ones go i was wondering what the best solution would be:)
 
kool, that has really helped cause i was looking at was the 180 - 200 pound one on yer list :) as the best solution and sorry yes it would have been sataII raid using PCI express, so thanks for the help. And would the one above be one of the ones u mentioned cause i believe it is :P cheers also the top level one tho would be nice and shiny but tooooo much money even tho it would be stupidly fast:)

sorry, that was silly of me to have that link *slaps self*

That was the point, all i was after was advice on which controller to get, as software raid is not as quick as hardware raid, i mean a good example of speed is a SAN:D which is silly quick, and they very clever as well which would explain y u can expect to pay silly amount and no home user would ever have one:P. I mean possibly the most fault tolerent would be raid 0+1 but i could be wrong and RAID 5 is considered true raid as u can in some setups lose more than one drive, or if u have hot swaps available then it will rebuild itself if its a very clever controller:D e.g. in a SAN or similar. What would you say is the best RAID for redundancy and mass storage e.g. lose a drive but no lose of data and say 900GB + of storage space:D
