RAID 5

[Veanie]

Looking to build a system with 4 raptor drives running in RAID 5, for little more reason that I want too.

Does anybody have any experience with Highpoint Rocket RAID 1640 card ? Would this card work in PCI-X configuration with a PCI-X system board such as the Asus P5WDG2-WS Pro ?

Would it be able to support a bootable RAID 5 disk set ?

Okay well on reflection and looking at the market the Adaptec AAR-1420SA seems to be hardware accelerated ?

Means I would need to use RAID 10 instead of 5 but the loss of disk space wouldnt really be an issue.

As for as PCI-X over PCI-Express I am looking for a PCI-X solution primarily because I cant find a PCI-Express solution for a 4 port SATA II RAID card.
