Has anyone got one of these or have any experience using one? I'm looking at the 3 port version to run 2 disks in RAID1. Looking at this card in particular as it's roughly £30 and seems to be fully hardware based. The alternative is a Sil3114 generic card for about £15 which is a software based card - will I notice much of a difference between the two in terms of reliability or speed?
The disks in question will likely either be WD or Seagate 250 or 320GB.
Alternatively are there any good cards that will do RAID5 on either IDE or SATA at a reasonable price? (The Revo only seems to do RAID0/1/3)
