Home BuildĪs I said, I went to work setting this up at home. It requires a special driver that does the RAID work in your OS. But don’t consider it to be hardware RAID. This product also has the ability to be a RAID controller. This product was marketed by Syba as SD-SATA2-2E2I. Silicon Image 3124 chipset based PCI RAID/eSATA II controller card. Anyways, SIL4726 processor can handle RAID processing itself, thus offloading the burden from your PC or controller card. The manufacturer doesn’t really matter, its the chipset that I care about because that is what does the digital work.
Silicon Image 4726 chipset based 5 bay, eSATA II hard disk enclosure. Just reminder, here is the hardware that I bought. The first step that I felt was necessary to build my research lab file server was to set the external hard disks up and get them running a Linux computer (in the comfort of my own home) that runs the same OS as the Dell PowerEdge 6650 server.
