Dell T30 raid controller options
I have a new customer with Dell T30 server.
- Unfortunately they purchased this without consultation
- The server only came with 1 1TB Sata drive
- 8GB of RAM
- Prior to us starting to work together my client decided they wanted raid10 redundancy
- They purchased 3 additional 1TB drives from Dell
- Enter me
- The server does not support any kind of onboard raid
- I contacted Dell and of course they do not make any raid controllers for the T30

Any one have any thoughts about either of these controllers as an add-on option?

Again it's aT30 so it'll be limited but trying to make some lemonade outta the lemons I've been handed :)
We have a Tandberg USB 3.0 RDX drive and media for backups

Some RAID cards I've been considering
LSI 9341-4i
Intel rs3wc080Intel

PS sure we can look at Battery backed , cache, onboard RAM, etc but this is just to get some basic redundancy beyond a single drive in their server.

Thanks in advance.

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.
