I want to build a small server for storage and i can't decide which controller i should take. I want to have something which is good for the next few years

so i thought about the lsi 9271-8i
but the new Adaptec series looks very interesting too the problem is i can't find any informations and test in the internet especially not for the Adaptec RAID 7805
or a Areca with 4gb cache ?

It's needed to run a raid6 with 6-8 hdd and for the future some ssd caching to increase the speed

Ask Computurd about the Adaptec. He's testing one now, its supposed to be the :banana::banana::banana::banana:.

so i think the 7805 will make the race
