Ik heb nu al een flinke tijd lopen zoeken naar een mooie Raid 5 controller, in mijn zoektocht heb ik ook eerder een topic geopend: \[Raid5/10]De zin en nonsense in het gebruik en toepasing.
Hierin werd me veel aangeraden over de Areca ARC-1220 controller.
Inmiddels heb ik elders ook nog een andere interessante gevonden: HighPoint RocketRAID 3520
Ik heb niet ergens een duidelijke vergelijking kunnen vinden op internet.
Even de specs:

RocketRaid 3520

Host Adapter Architecture
ARC-1220

Maar verder weet ik echt niet welke nu beter is/betere functies heeft.
Kan iemand mij hier wat meer over vertellen (Ervaringen??)
