Digital camera reviews of Areca ARC-1200 SATA RAID Controller (ARC1200)Digital camera Review: Compact 2-port SATA2/NCQ hardware RAID controller with PCIe x1 interface Summary: 5 Stars
If your goal is a true hardware RAID1 mirror, and motherboard provides just a PCI Express X1 interface (not X4, and not even X2) then there are not that many options available - I could identify just two, 3Ware 9650SE-2LP and this ARC1200 card from Areca. It's an excellent RAID controller, very compact and quiet (except for a relatively loud beep at POST), supports SATA, SATA2 and SATA2/NCQ hard drives. Windows XP Service Pack 3 needs a driver - can be installed either from accompanying CD, or downloaded from manufacturer's web site. CentOS / Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 has the latest driver included, thus no need for driver disk during installation of the operating system. Highly recommended!
