Hi,
I am looking for advice on getting a RAID card for my ESXi 5.1 server. The motherboard is a Supermicro X9SCL-F in a 4U chassis. I would like to do a 4 SSD drive raid 10 for the datastore along with a mirrored raid for the OS (esxi 5.1). The RAID card would need to support 6Gb/s and have 8 ports available (currently only require 6 though).
I'm looking for something on the cheaper end, off eBay and able to ship to Canada. I've been looking into the HP P410 cards but would be curious if there are other recommendations.
Thanks!
