Ok I was looking at a couple RAID 5 controllers and I need some input.
The Fastrack one looks nice with its upgradble memory but I hear it lacks an XOR processor.

Now I am looking at the LSI Logic MegaRaid

What one is better out of the 2 if I was going to use a 3 drive Raid 5 setup now, and expand without data loss later? Also if I am using that controller in a PCI slot can I still use my DFI SATA controller to run my Raptor for the OS?
