Might not be the best place to sell this kind of kit, but I've had enough of ebay fees so will see if there is interest.
I'm selling my high-spec PCIe 12-channel Raid card. Perfect working condition, comes in original box, very light use - but I'm down sizing to mini-itx servers and tablets now that kids have arrived in my life...
This is a 'proper' hardware RAID card that lets you run RAID5/6 at high speed. It's a 12-channel (supports up to 12 Sata HDD/SDD) hardware raid card that supports over 0.5 GB/second sustained throughput in RAID5/6 (and over 800 MB/sec in RAID 0 with SSDs)...
Full management from on-board bios or web browser, usual high end features of hot-plug, pass through drives, JBOD, expand array capacity on the fly, staggered spin-up, SMART pass through, Out-of-Band browser access via Ethernet port etc. Passively cooled so silent running.

May also have three 1.5TB Seagate drives going for £60+shipping, though I need to check model numbers for specs.
