i have a need for a raid card to control at least 4 harddrives, but i'd like the ability to add a fifth. let me list the componants i currently have.

i would only like to spend about 30 - 40 dollars one this card. i'd like to be able to have the two primary drives(the 40 gigs) so that they are fast and not mirrored. i'd like the 2 other drives to be mirrored for storing my important documents, music and other media. i think?

any suggestions?? please help.
