eSATA RAID card for Mac Pro 5,1

[WonderSausage]

I need a Windows-compatible eSATA RAID card for a Mac Pro 5,1.

Any recommendations?

I currently have an old Highpoint RocketRAID 620 which is a pain to use with a rinky-dink web-based admin tool and inconsistent hot-plug support.

thx

The best choices (cross-platform) are probably ATTO and Areca, but these are a lot more expensive because they're true hardware RAID cards, whereas most of Highpoint's stuff is soft-RAID. How many ports do you need, and what type of RAID configuration are you looking to set up?

There are TWO hardware RAID controllers that I used and built for my clients.
SPM393 - hardware raid
and
SPM394

These are stand-alone RAID controller - DOES NOT need ANY drivers or software install...

It works with ANY OS can see a SATA port including MAC, Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Centos, VMware...

In your case, i think there are TWO internal SATA ports, bring it out as ESATA with eSATA bracket
