Hi haz!

I'm actually too looking for a raid controller to a server right now but I don't got pci-e like you seam to have,
the Adaptec 2405 got pretty good reviews at newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6816103102
and that is really the only good way to find out if the card is compatible and if it works as description says, there are a lot of bad cards out there from pretty much every low price manufacture.

I recommend checking out mullet.se, controller cards here: https://www.mullet.se/category.html?category_id=15104
they focus on *NIX stuff so there you will find good and functional hardware

Thanks for the answer DomeDan!
My problem is that i am not sure which card is compatible with Vicidial (Open Suse). Otherwise i have good knowledge of these cards if it was windows.
Normally we use HP own cards and these work fine but just this server we bought has a B120I card that Vicidial installer cannot see.
I am still working in this and will keep you informed if i get it to work.

We only recommend using LSI Logic MegaRAID controllers. Pretty much everything else we have had problems with at one time or another. We've had several adaptec controllers fail or malfunction, but the MegaRAID controllers are rock solid.
