I've had a look for reviews, but can't find any, all that comes up is price agregators or online stores without any user reviews.

I have a XFX Revo 5 port, but don't trust it after the two drives on it in RAID-1 died within days of each other (not the same batch or model).

In the end i'm planning on having two 4 drive RAID-5 arrays, one with 500gig disks and the other probably with 750gig disks.

Havent used one, but that one doesnt do RAID5 ... I got the PDF off the supermicro site to check as I am looking for a good RAID5 card that wont cost an arm, a leg and a kidney.

Why didn't i spot that?

Thats a bugger. I knew it was software, but i guess i just assumed it was RAID5 too. Oh well.

If you find anything affordable that does RAID-5 then i'd be interested
