I'm looking to run RAID 0 on my machine at home, and don't want to use the on-board RAID controller. I'll be running up to 4 of these Seagates (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148288). I'm looking to stay around $100 and I'm also not looking for any uber top of the line cards. I realize that a card in this price range isn't going to be the best, but it will beat my onboard controller (nvidia).

Also, the OS I use is Vista 64bit. Are there any cards out there that will fit my needs?

EDIT: After looking, there are many more options available that are PCI. I have 1 PCIEx1 and 2 PCI slots open, if there is no performance difference in the two I could also use a PCI RAID Card.

Baleful,

Cheap and it works. This is a 2 port internal model. They also have external models or 1 internal and 1 external.
