RAID card for NAS

[-Encore-]

Hello guys,

I'm looking for a RAID card for a max of 400$, the card should run up to 6 hard drives and have raid 10 enabled. 

I have 6 x WD Red 3TB Drives (SATA).

Benjamin, I have found a simple option for you, it isn't the cheapest but it is within your $400 Max for this part, it has capabilities to run 8 drives, so in the future you can easily upgrade,  It is an LSI MegaRAID 9240-8I
