normally i would think about getting a 3tb drive until they come down a little i price since it will go to parity i will really only be getting a 2tb for the price of a 3tb. although they are a lot cheaper than when the 2tbs came out. anyway i wouldnt normally consider it but then i saw this one that comes with a sata card, which i will be needing soon anyway:

but what i wanted to know is does anyone know whether this card is supported with unraid? im using 5.0 beta 7 so i thought id try out the larger drive support.

Well, it appears to be a RocketRAID 62X card.  As far as I can discover, the driver for this card is rr62x.  This sounds very specific, and I can find no mention of that driver being included in any standard unRAID build.

 

Edit:

TimSmall says that the card is based on a Marvell controller, and reports that it is working, here.

Hate to mention the obvious but two-port SATA PCIe cards should be very inexpensive. $20 should be about the high-end, with some as low as $8 shipped.  http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=12404.0

yes, i realized that but the way i figure, that knocks off $20 from the 3tb drive which makes it a little easier to swallow (figuratively). i did realize it was a rocket 62x, however there were a number of cards on newegg where the image of the pcb had the same model number, even though there were slight differences in the circuit board. so i wasnt exactly sure if they would use different drivers or not, even though i was pretty sure they would all use the same driver. thanks for the input everyone.
