MF> LSI 9211-8i- but I don't know anything about the price.

Something around 200,-€ as far as I can see. This boils down to more than
20,-€/disk which is about twice the price of a cheap LSI1068 card (around
11,-€/disk). If you build machines with 24, 36 or even more disks, this
can become quite an issue.

I guess the integrated raid is the problem when it comes to the price. I'm
looking for something without integrated raid, which is usually much
cheaper. Thanks for the hint, anyway.
