Need some recommedations. I'm putting together a raid with 4 TB drives. One will be the "spare", three the raid. I'm using an VIA EPIA SN1800G, and may use my PCI-Express rocketraid card. My questions are:
1. How close is onboard RAID when compared to a cheap ($100-$150) Rocket raid card?
2. If I were to get Seagate 7200.10 or .11 drives how will that affect the raid TLER wise?
The last RAID 5 I set up onboard was kind of crappy, dropping drives here and there. Any advice would be great. This is for my ammo can server, and I need to finish it by the end of next month.
