I'm in the market for a pair of M1015 RAID cards for work. We are building out our backup servers and need a few controllers for disk storage.
That being said I can get a Chinese shipped M1015 for $75 on ebay but I'm quite leery about them as I've heard stories about them not working just like the old ones that used to be server pulls.
Is this a problem I should be worried about or just buy a 3rd just in case? Any recommendation on a sub $100 SATA/SAS RAID card that will do RAID-2 disks RAID 6-6 disks?
