    Any Opteron boards with SATA RAID 5?

    Or would I have to buy a separate controller. Can anyone recommend a controller? This is for a server, the first I ever built. Thanks!

    I haven't seen any boards come with IDE or SATA RAID5 onboard.

    Take a look at this review:

    PS: Don't forget that you need REGISTERED DDR for Opteron boards.

    The ones that have any RAID at all tend to use slow chips running off the legacy 33-MHz PCI bus. Do yourself a favor and get a PCI-x card with hardware XOR processor and integrated/expandable cache RAM.
