You have one PCI-X slot which is what this card requires. Thinking about it a bit more, I'd probably go with the card anyway. It has its own processor and cache ram and it supports SATA II. I've never been terribly impressed with integrated RAID controllers anyway. The card ain't cheap, but nothing for servers is. The Adaptec Storage Manager software is superb.
That card is pricy but I went ahead and ordered it. About the hard drives you recommended is the ES or RE at the end of the model numbers?
If not where do I look?
Never mind I found the hard drives.
Thanks
