Thanks. We ended up going with a HighPoint RocketRAID 2210 PCI-X.

We have a Dell PowerEdge 600SC running Server 2000. &nbsp;The main drive is a SCSI RAID 1 array. &nbsp;The data disks are currently EIDE drives. &nbsp;We want to convert the data disks to SATA without RAID. &nbsp;I am looking for 2 eSATA and 2 SATA connectors. &nbsp;We do have an available PCI-X slot if that would speed things up. &nbsp;Do you have any suggestions?

SATA Controller card recommendations please

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
