ITX + Hardware Raid NAS

E

embeddedbob

Has anyone used a decent hardware raid card in conjunction with an efficient (and quiet) ITX system. Theres a few other tasks it will peform which is the reason why I dont want to just buy a box (+ I already have a rackmount case).

E.g.

PCI-E 4-port Hardware RAID Controller

VIA EPIA-SN Mini-ITX

POV ION 330 Atom

ZOTAC ION 330 Atom ITX F Series

I’ve checked the hardware compatibility list and the ION boards and 3ware controller are fully supported, great :). The VIA system seems less supported.

Anyway, I was posting to see if anyone has constructed such a system and how it performed... Gbit NIC throughput from the array?

:)
 
I've used both 3ware and Adaptec raid controller. No problem what soever. However, most of my boxes are in RAID10 or RAID1 configuration. Unfortunately ITX wasn't enough for our work load. So we end up with high end server.
