PCI Raid Card
Is there a PCI Raid Card that will work in a Dell Precision 3630 Tower with 9th Gen CPU, I don't really want to use the software Raid as they are unreliable and use system resource.
I need to create two Raid 1 Virtual discs

Your PC has a PCI slot and you can use a PCI raid card in there but you have to consider:
Considering this, I would recommend buying a PCI-Express raid card instead. Or maybe better: use the built-in Intel firmware raid. The Intel raid will give significantly faster boot times because standalone hardware raid cards usually take quite a while to initialize during BIOS boot. This system can have maximum 2x 3.5" HDD. Which can make just one Raid 1 set. Of course you can partition this to make as many disk partitions as you like, and all will be protected from a single hard drive failure by the Raid 1 technology.
