Hi folks! I've an old pc with Sil3114 hardware raid card. How is reliable this cheap hardware? What is better: use a raid software or a raid hardware with this card? No need speed... only reliable of datas
I've been using Sil3114 based cards in two of my computers for some years now without any problems. I don't use them for raid though, just as ordinary disk controllers.
If I did use raid, I would go for software every time. Mostly because if the card failed and I had to get another then I could use any card that was available without having to worry about raid compatibility.
