Old school, Adaptec was RAID. Today things have changed and Adaptec appears marginalized in the market, and quite pricey.
LSI seems to be the way to go except it appears the company has changed hands a number of times and today Broadcom owns it. Amazon and other sites are flooded with various models, some quite old.
I've used an LSI 9361-i8 in a Windows Datacenter 2019 server and was/am impressed.
I attempted to use an LSI 9260-8i in another server and was severely disappointed (failed after 2 days, its BIOS was reminiscent of DOS and was poorly worded).
In any event, I need personal recommendations for additional quality brands.
What I am in need of is a 4 Port RAID controller card with throughput of 12Gb/s or 6Gb/s. I need something reliable since it will be installed into a 2019 server and placed in a colo.
Cost, I'd like to stay between $100-$200 but am somewhat flexible when it comes to quality. Again, if I can get a personal recommendation from someone with experience I have no problem taking a chance on a brand unknown to me.
Thanks!
