I froogled around:

3ware:
  * 3ware Raid Controller Escalade 8006-2LP, 2 Channels,  about 130-150 EUR

areca:
  * nothing @froogle, any models?

highpoint:
  * RAID S-ATA Highpoint Rocketraid 1640, 4 Channels, ca 100 EUR


A local computer store recommended a Dawicontrol DC-150, 2 Channels.


Any experience with theese controllers?
Any other manufacturers/models in the range between 100 and 200EUR for 2 disks?
  


Regards
Raphael Becker

PS: 100 EUR = 121.26 USD
