Hello,
I have searched this forum and other Google sources looking for a 1x pcie sata/esata raid controller card with no good luck.
My system - HP Pavilion p6340f has internal sata support but no raid functions. I already have a 1x pcie esata raid controller for the drives in my external enclosure.
What I would like to locate - since I have no extra pcie slots - is a 1x pcie esata & sata combo raid controller card to replace the existing esata card. I would like to have raid 1 on the two internal sata drives and raid 5 on my esata drives. The raid support, in both cases needs to be hardware raid, not host/software raid. I want to boot Windows, Linux or OS X from the partitions on the internal daid 1 drives.
If anyone in the forum community knows of such a card I would really appreciate some pointers.
Many thanks for any help.
