what would you say to this adaptec 6405 4 port card?
I think I’m right in saying it has everything I need and offers raid 0 as well as 5 should i decide to change in future -
Thank you rainer. Are there any particular cards you have experience of? I’m after something simple to rebuild should a drive fail and also simple to set up. I assume most come with their own configuration software?

well, years on and i’m still having issues with my soundblaster audigy 2 card outputting in 5.1 from premiere. It works for a while and then just stops and despite all the software showing it in 5.1 and nothing changing in the setup, I hear everything in each of the front speakers.
Can anyone recommend a slightly better sound card that wont give me such a headache when I try to set it up?

im rapidly running out of time so I’m just going to have to go for a rocketRAID card.. there are just none others available to my eyes.
I might just get this, I havd a pcie 8x port free and this says its an 8 port card.. it mentions raid.. it mentions 8 port.. thats about as technical as I get, I just hope I don’t buy it and find it’s not compatible

thansk David. I’ll need to read up on what SAS actually is as I’ve not heard of it before. If it’s just a new method of cabling for existing esata drives and it makes data transfer quicker then it seems silly not to go for it.
I’m just worried I wont be able to take in the information when I read up! I thought my pc building knowledge was ok but researching raid controllers alone has given me a headache!
Is the controller you recommended a SAS controller? (Im confident a “sas controller”) isnt even the right term.. told you I was useless!
-
would that mean all new drives?
the 4k plan is on hold for a while, but i still don’t want to buy the controller if i’ll need to update it a few months later..
-
appreciate your help and trust me if i could find the bloody thing i’d snap it up!!
Is this the same?

hmm.. why does it say posts removed from this thread?
If anyone can find a UK sold raid controller for under £350 or so that you recommend, please do help out.. I’m totally lost trying to find a non RocketRAID controller with good reviews for sub £500

would you mind taking a look on here and telling me if any stand out as doable?

thank you, one recommendation is all i need as I’m really keen to get one asap. Unfortunately I can only find your one for sale in the states so may have to go down that route
Can you confirm that’s correct?
Also excuse the silly question but I don’t see 8 ports on the card.. how do the HDD’s connect or does just one connect to it?
