Question about SRT and RAID cards

[Cyanotical]

So im having a bit of trouble with my SAN at work, my idea is to build a new SAN using a z68 board, 12TB RAID 50 from an aftermarket RAID card and a 240GB SSD for SRT

would this work? google came up with a whole lot of home setups, but nothing involving a RAID card, and i haven't used SRT before, or know much about it

Not perfectly relevant, just making sure you know (which I'm sure you do), but SRT is capped at 64 GiB I think, so you'd have a 160~GiB partition left over.

yes, the leftover was for the base OS, the problem is that san accelerators (which do the same thing), are roughly $65k, personally i think it's possible to build a san with SSD caching for less then 5k

Pretty sure it won't work with a dedicated RAID card. Everything i've just googled on it makes it seem like it's integrated with the onboard controllers. One post on hardforum even said the guy was transferring his standalone RAID to the onboard controller for testing.
