Hi I'm designing a new nas with 8 1TB drives and I have a $200 for a hardware raid card. I am stuck between Raid 50 and Raid 6 / Which raid card to go with. Any help would be appreciated. The motherboard I'm using is an Intel DP45SG http://ark.intel.com/products/34683/Intel-Desktop-Board-DP45SG   and I have two pci-e slots filled with dual gigabit adapters and one pci slot with a gpu (Total ethernet bandiwth of 5Gb's because of NIC teaming. I have both of the x16 slots open and I'm pretty sure they also can take an x8 or x4 raid cards. http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/will-a-pci-e-x4-or-x8-sas-raid-controller-card-work-in-x16-slot.72184/ .Any help finding a raid card / configuration would be appreciated.
