Inexpensive IDE RAID card for a RAID 1 setup

mcwc

In the near future, I am hoping to get a RAID 1 set up just for data redundancy incase of a hard drive failure. The thing is, I want to get an inexpensive RAID card. The cheapest one I can find in Vancouver is for $30CAD, brand new.

The questions are:
1. Is there any issues with using this inexpensive card?
2. Will the sil0680a bios have any issues with the onboard sil3112 bios on my NF7-S v2.0? The chances of me using the onboard sil3112 is slim and i would like to know.

I'll probably have some RAID 1 set up questions later. Right now, I am reading up on RAID tutorials.

Bump!

Well, at least answer this question for me, how is the sil0680a in terms of a RAID controller and does it have any issues with data corruption?

im not too sure about how the exchange rate works, but is newegg out of the question? they sell everyting. 1 thing, make sure it does hardware raid, not software raid, also SATA appears to be cheaper than IDE =\ , unfortunatly i dont know enuf about raid to really instruct you, you should try to contact Tex, hes the man for arrays and raid
