SATA Help
Hi! I'm in the process of building a new file server. My previous one is a Dual 1.4 P3 with U320 SCSI. Its loud, big, slow, and has a relatively small size. I need to build another raid setup for all my files. I've been trying to find motherboards with 6 ports, but Am not having much luck. Can anyone recommend one or a half assed PCIe sata raid card that will do the trick?

The raid card would be worth investment because then if you move the drives from rig to rig you don't have to rebuild just load the drivers. Then if you are going to do that then you should buy one that is hardware raid. For suggestions....none just go shop around looking at Highpoint or Promise Tech.
I've been thinking this would be the best route. This will allow me to get the cheapest mobo/cpu combo available, and still get decent performance. With the prices on 500gb+ drives falling, I have no reason not to.
