Looking to upgrade to X99. I plan to raid 5 a disk array for (5) 1tb drives for parity reasons. I have always heard that raid cards are better than onboard raid controllers.
Is that still true when using X99? if so, how much difference?
Is a raid card a must when not looking for performance boost - only needing parity?
If onboard is out of the question - what is a good raid card you recommend that can handle 5 drives in raid 5?
thanks for the help!
