Now the quest to find a good raid card!
Looking for (in this order):
Reliability
RAID 6
>= 8 SATAII drives
<$800
I am trying to find reviews but unfortunately there is not a lot of them for such devices...
This is the card that I am going with so far: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16816131004

After looking up some reviews I am going to stick with the raid card above. Now instead of throwing all the drives into some funky drive bay I will instead use the heat pipe silent and vibration dampened heat sinks that make each drive use 1 bay as I have for years. Luckily I have 24 drive bays so it is not like I could run out of space rofl! For each drive I will run one of these: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/18...?tl=g6c455s125
This read led will be attached to each drive so if one fails it will indicate which one to replace! Otherwise I would need to buy expensive and ugly hot swappable bays that ruin the look of my computer, waste a shit ton of money, and add noise.
