Seeing as that's a real RAID card, complete with an onboard cache of up |
| 8 |
to 256MB RAM, I'd try to replace it with something as good or better. |

That qualification pretty much eliminates 90% of the SATA cards out |
| 10 |
there. Most of them are consumer grade with no caching and usually no |
| 11 |
RAID processing since they're doing it in the driver. |

I've had good luck with 3ware cards and whatever OEM Adaptec AAC RAID |
| 14 |
card Dell includes in their machines these days. |
