The cheapest card I would get is a Highpoint 2320, 8 port RAID5 card, though it is not true hardware RAID. Next one up is the Adaptec 5805.
If you on a budget then I suggest getting cheapo sata cards and run mdadm on linux.
Ah ok, what about a 4 port RAID5 card? I saw
this but it's a new avenue for me so I have no idea about it.
Also would I need to buy 3 new HDD's to RAID? I have 2 HDD's that have the data I want to RAID but I don't want to lose any of that data, does that mean new HDD's then transfer the data to the new RAID array or can I RAID old HDD's and not lose the data?
Thanks for all the help by the way
