Hi all,

I'm thinking about getting a raid card to get some decent raid-5 support 
for a bunch of 200G discs. The question arrises what card to use. I'm on 
a semi tight budget here, so the intel (~ 300EUR) comes into mind before 
spending money to big brands as 3ware and areca.

However, the website isn't really clear about it being supported or not.

It has support for:
I2O RAID controllers: Adaptec, AMI, DPT, Intel, possibly more (iop(4))
Intel Storage RAID, Integrated RAID (icp(4), iop(4))

Does that mean that it supports the srcs16 too ?

And furthermore, if it's supported, is it a full support or not. (I 
already have a card that's only supported for raid0, and I wanted to use 
it's hardware raid1 capabilities, so now it's 'degraded' to just an 
ordinary pci controller, doing software raid on two discs).

Thanks in advance!
