PCI-E add-on Success & Failures

@nuumio:
How do you use the RAID capabilities of this card? Is it supporting HW-Raid1 and how can i setup a RAID? Is there a "bios key"?

Nope. I'm using SW raid, more specifically Btrfs raid1. With SW raid you can use any controller that does "Just a Bunch Of Disks" (JBOD). So replacing the controller is not a problem. With HW raid you typically have to use exactly same controller. That, and I don't really trust that HW raid on cheap controllers really works that well
