Now that you found a solution, I have question... Why hardware card? I assume it's Linux. And, I found software raid (mdadm or btrfs) good enough for mirror setup. On 2022-12-11 14:34, Aurelian Melinte via talk wrote:

I am looking to get a RAID card to put my SATA HDDs in a mirror. Has to be hardware RAID for that particular machine which is quite old. Can anyone please recommend a reliable one, $250 or less? How many disks?
Personally my main server box in the house runs software raid6 with nine drives, and then for the root disk I have a pair of SSDs running on a hardware raid controller. It's a peculiar extremely cheap one:
0b:00.0 SATA controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE9128 PCIe SATA 6 Gb/s RAID controller with HyperDuo (rev 11)
Thanks all!
To follow-up: that would be a simple two drives in a mirror setup. So, I had to settle with an LSI 9212-4i. A bit of a pain - had to flash new firmware and I cannot get to the BIOS at boot time so I had to fish for the storcli command line tool. But so far so good. At this point I would think mdadm would be a superior solution
