Best RAID card for personal use (rather than server)

Building another spare PC that will have 4 250GB SSD's in it in RAID 5 and looking for a RAID card (a very good one at that) that will deliver me the best performance, best reliability and comes with a battery.

 

I had an M5015 but read a lot of reviews saying that they are designed for Server use rather than personal use on a desktop.

 

 

So what is the RAID card for me?

 

newegg/eBay links would be easiest :)

I'd run raid 10 or 0, the write speeds on 5 suck even with a $800 raid card. I'd look at cards from LSI with 1GB of DDR3 1333 of cache on board.

I can live with RAID 0, I have a 10TB server so would do weekly backups

 

Will have a looksie now :)
