So as I venture down the path of ESXi 6.5 and after some digging I notice that it does not support the raid card in my Supermicro 813M-3 1u chassis with built in Intel Raid. I have 4 drives setup as Raid 10(4TB) and it lists each drive as if its not in a raid(it is,verified) Each drive is listed as ATA 1.82TB drives, not the entire raid. ESXi 5.5 does the same, so I'm pretty much stuck here. I'm new to ESXi and I don't think there is a work around, do I have any options as to replace the Intel raid controller with a add-on raid card or am I pretty much going to have to find another VM solution?

Or am I pretty much going to have to find another VM solution? The two that have enterprise software RAID options are XenServer and KVM. Both of these have MD RAID which is very, very good and requires no hardware at all. So those you can just use as normal. Officially XenServer does not support software RAID, but it is included with it and tons of people use it. It's fully baked in, they just don't do any testing against it.
I know people using it, it's absolutely fine and worlds better than what you were trying to use already. The is $150 and is listed right on the compatibility list. It's a lot cheaper than looking for hosted solutions that come with a monthly bill unless that is already part of the budget.I guess I was more of looking at the 8 port one, I don't really know my options for my chassis or drive setup and I typically don't deal with rackmount custom Supermicro builds. This server is for my startup and the server was given to me on a great deal so I'd rather use it vs paying for a dedicated somewhere else considering I have 4x2TB drives, 96gb of memory and a E5 in it. I found the LSI 9260-4i card online a few places but not sure what I'd need without being home in my office where the server sits.
