If you want to do some serious research, a few of the RocketRAID cards are extremely low cost. Haven't used one (only worked with 622 model) that works well in Linux. Still better than Windows, at least it wouldn't crash the OS, just hose up the raid. NewEgg and Amazon offer some RocketRAID models with glowing Linux reviews for some models of RocketRAID, just stay away from the 622 IMO. -- Jeremy MountainJohnson Jeremy.MountainJohnson at gmail.com On Fri, Feb 28, 2014 at 4:38 PM, Carl Wilhelm Soderstrom <chrome at real-time.com> wrote: > So I'm not hearing any strong recommendations for a > low-end-but-well-supported RAID card.
