Re: Add-On RAID controller vs. Built-In

A bit late, but anyway, here goes:

A dedicated RAID controller usually beats an onboard one hands down. Not only is it faster, but the dedicated controllers have heaps more cache available for the RAID in case of a system/hardware glitch, making the prospect of data loss more remote. Go for the additional controller card!
