Raid 5 Controllers.
Anyone have a specific model/brand they recommend. We use Promise cards, particularly the tx2300 series for raid 0 or 1.
Most of our clients are small/medium business clients so raid 5 is plenty for what we do. They either dont want to incure the cost of a raid 6 or 10.
I was thinking of going with the TX4310 from Promise but wanted to see if anyone has any input prior.
Thanks.

Search for a card here: http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=410&name=Controllers-RAID-Cards
It's going to vary based on interface, ports, etc. I'd go with Areca or 3ware. -

Sorry, can't help you there. RAID controllers have been included on every server I've worked with for the past 5 years.
Prior to that I used Promise for IDE and Adaptec for SCSI, but I can't imaging you'd want to use any of those old cards.
