I got snookered a few years back into purchasing a fakeraid<br>
card (was sold as a real RAID, but it's software RAID).<br>

There's a quick and infallible way to check. If the card comes with a<br>
big chunk of soldered memory, or better yet a DIMM slot, it's real RAID.<br>

A bit further OT, any recommendations on a good RAID card for my next build?<br>

My last upgrade was an LSI 9201-16i and ZFS. So far, so good... On that note, I've got an old ARC-1230 lying around if you're interested.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br></div></div></blockquote><div><br>
</div><div>Since we are already off topic, does anyone have any recommendations for a 4 port SATA card that doesn't need to have RAID, but is still high performance? I have a two port card in my server now, (the on board mobo only has 2 ports) I'd like to expand it, but I think the card I have now is not performing well at all, so I'd like to replace it with something that is proven.</div>
