What raid card would be the best for my future Dell R900? 
I may be able to get one with a Dell Perc 6i raid card; don't know much about it but it's supposed to be really good. 

Otherwise, what good raid card would I be able to get under $100 or so? I am looking to run Raid 6 on my server in case that's important information. 

(will be running Windows Server)

 

EDIT: Whoops, wrong subforum :P

1. DONT GET A R900. They will use over 500w idle and cost over 500 a year in power. but a r710 instead

 

2. a perc 6i is your best option. The r900 is a bad storage server as its very limited in drive bays. The only thing is the perc 6i is limited to 2tb hdds.

 

Just get a r710, much faster, cheaper, and newer.
