RAID Controller for E800

[Frank_133]

Hi,
I have a HP NetServer E800. I am looking to add a RAID Contoller to it. Will any of the new RAID controllers offered by HP work on this server? or do I have to search for an older NetRaid 1M or 2M models? Parts number will really help! Do I need to purchase a RAID Cable as well?

Thank you
Frank

Here is the NetRAID compatibility matrix for Netservers, including the E800:

The HP-supported RAID controllers for the E800 is NetRAID. So the "newest" would be either the NetRAID-1M or 2M.

P3410A: NetRAID-1M Ultra3 one channel PCI
P3411A: NetRAID-2M Ultra3 two channel PCI with 64 MB cache
P3475A: NetRAID-2M Ultra3 two channel PCI with 128 MB cache

The existing internal SCSI cable is long enough to use with an added NetRAID card.
