I'm not going to answer about the right controller (dont have RAID experience) but IIRC can you can only have four IDE controllers in one system (Primary, Secondary, Tertiary & Quartinary) so your total will be 8 drives including the CD-ROM?I am setting up a machine to act as an LTSP server for my church. I have a stack of old IDE hard drives that I want to use in a RAID configuration. The server's case has plenty of room for drives and a number of PCI expansion slots. I would like to get two PCI IDE controller cards to connect all the drives with. The server has an IDE CD-ROM, leaving 3 open slots in the on-board controllers. If I get two more cards (eah with two connectors), I should be able to connect 8 more hard drives.
