Hey,

I am looking at setting up a Raid 5 array. Only problem is I can't find any raid 5 controllers, all I can seem to find is raid 0 or 1. Also can I raid 2 hard drives that already have data on them or can I only raid new hdd's?

Cheers

cheapest raid 5 card you're looking at is a highpoint 2300 pci-e 1x 4 port SATA - $200ish.
