Hello.
Any hint on a good, well supported RAID 5 SAS controller?
One that has command line tools to rebuild arrays in case of problems?

I've been offered an Intel SRCSAS144E or an Intel S5000PSLSAS 
motherboard with an "activation key". AFAICT this are not supported? Am 
I wrong?

Any other option?

  bye & Thanks
	av.
