Areca PCI RAID Controller
ARC-1882LP, dual core RAID controller
PCI RAID controllers can make SAS and SATA disks in a server act as one or several RAID sets. Up to 24 internal and hundreds of external disks can thus be connected to redundant and fast virtual disks. As with external RAID systems, the bigger RAID controller cards even support remote management over a web browser.
Areca RAID controller especially convince in tests with their high performance.
