So I am thinking of getting a Dell Perc 5/i to RAID 5
The thing is, I have an eVGA 750i FTW and knowing how it only has 2xPCI-E x16 slots, I don't know how I am going to be able to find a way to use the PCI-E x8 by the RAID controller.
I have found some websites selling PCI-E x16 to PCI (-E x1) converters/adapters and I want to know if it would actually help.
If it is so much trouble, should I just use the on-board RAID controller to RAID 3 hard drives?
