I need a SATA RAID PCI card that works well with CentOS and is fully supported. Mandatory features: - works with the drivers already in the kernel, no additional drivers - can do RAID 0, 1 and 5 - hotswap - allows to monitor the status of the array and of each individual drive via a script (ideally run from cron) - works with very large SATA drives
Nice to have features but not mandatory: - small battery to keep the array alive until the write buffers are flushed after a power loss
Anyone having positive experience with SATA RAID, please comment.
