Since it is low power, and my plan is to leave it on, I have been wanting to make it my NAS/Backup box, but I need to find either a SATA (preferable), or PATA, pci raid card. Any suggestions?
As discussed before on this list and on IRC, true hardware RAID is not cheap. A good RAID controller will cost several hundred dollars. The "ATA Raid" controllers are only capable of RAID 0 or 1, and are really not worth spending money for, they rely as heavily on the CPU as pure software RAID does.
