If you're talking consumer grade gear, well, sure, as there is no such
thing as a consumer hardware RAID card. In the world of branded OEM
'enterprise' gear, you can get a BBWC RAID card solution for little more
than two drives. Are most XFS admins running consumer or enterprise
grade gear?
LSI 9260-4i w/512MB BBWC = $485 USD
Intel RES2SV24024P expander = $280 USD
Total = $765 USD
2 HP 146GB 10kRPM SAS drives = $520 USD.
I threw in the expander as this LSI card is thoroughly limited with only
4 ports. It's also cheaper going this route than buying the sister card
with 8 ports, yet with the same performance, and 12 more total ports.
