Question Want to build a simple 3 drive RAID 5. What card should I get?

TL /DR: If I'm using a raid controller do I need to switch my BIOS to raid mode? Also, I'm having issues getting Adaptec 8405 driver/firmware from their site. Is there an alternative site you trust for those drivers? Thanks for the advice guys. I ended up getting an Adaptec 8405 from Ebay for...

Question Want to build a simple 3 drive RAID 5. What card should I get?

Follow up question. After the pandemic is more under control, I plan to move into an office for video editing and have a few staff members. Would I be better off just getting a raid enclosure now? If so, any recommendations on a good 4 bay?

Question Want to build a simple 3 drive RAID 5. What card should I get?

Looking to build a simple RAID 5 with three drives. I don't know much about RAID controllers. I'm setting up a raid for video editing with very large files both 4k and 360/VR footage. I'm not sure what a good raid card is for this. All the cards around $100 are from 2012. I'm not sure if they...

Question Fractal Define 7 vs Phanteks p600s

Thanks for the advice. I picked one up and it's great. More quite than my old 932 HAF and much sleeker. The only problem I have is, I look at the glass panel and I think, "This needs some lighting". I think I activated a trap card. :(

Question Dumb questions about my Ryzen 3900x.

I don't think it has a flashback feature. Haven't tried rolling back the BIOS. Also, I think this might be an issue with just the 3900x. I don't have a different 3000x core to test it with though. I've been reading a lot of reviews and most of them focus on the 3600x and 3800x. Some Motherboards...

What games have you played recently that you really enjoyed?

The Crew really fun racing game you can co-op. Almost all story mission are co-op up to 4 people. It's an MMO but it doesn't feel like it. Endless Legend amazing 4x game. It's like a cross between Civ and Total War. Mulitple victories and better war strategy than Civ.
