Re: DELL PERC 10 useless? Another RAID Controller?

Any other inexpensive PCIe RAID Controller card, fully compatible with ESXi 5.5 with 4 SATA HDDs / RAID 10 support ???

Could you give some details on the server model you have?

Sounds like this is a production machine and not just for testing/lab?

If the server is still under warranty or support contract with DELL I would strongly advise to get a DELL controller.

You may get a used Perc 6/i with BBU for example, this should be available cheap as refurbished/2nd hand, maybe even some of the newer Hxxx models.

Other vendor branded (IBM, HP, Fujitsu etc) LSI controllers should be also avaible for a few bucks 2nd hand.
