    I have been running this card for 8 months 24/7 on a small server at my office. Is a very affordable solution if you decide to go hardware. As far as software, why not use one of the software based raid drivers that a variety of motherboards use? I am sure you have a mobo layin around somewhere that has raid support. Is is there a reason u dont want to go that route? If your on tiny budget i would stick to mobo raid support and some spare sata drives. But then again my knowledge is pretty limited.

    PS. Ill build u a linux box for 12k, thats over half off!

    there is no budget for this and available hardware doesn't have raid hence use of software. that card is pretty cheap but i can't spend 1$ on this setup.

    business class desktops rarely come with raid unless you are buying higher end hardware for jobs like engineering, development, etc

    i'm using a dell optiplex so no raid support.
