Journal Chacham's Journal: Which SCSI card to buy 2
Well, after issues with the MegaRaid SCSI RAID controller card (also rebranded by Dell as the PERC/2) under Linux (Red Hat 6.2) the company that hired me decided to go with a new card. One with better support, and known for stability. At first thought I'd choose an Adaptec, but I need to actually look around. It's got to be SCSI and be able to do RAID 5 with four drives. If anyone has any ideas or pointers, I'd love to hear them.
UPDATE: My mistake, it is to be RAID 1/0.
Tekram is pretty good and cheap. (Score:1)

I think we're going to get an Adaptec. Basically, they seem to be well known for stability, and Dell sells them, so there's a higher degree of support should it fail. The question now is, which one. A U160 32/33 internal dual channel, external single channel card with write cache seems to be the best choice.
