I'm setting up a new file server using hardware raid 5 and I have a couple questions;
1. When looking at controller cards, how do I know if the card allows you to expand the array without rebuilding it? What is the technical term?
2. When building an array can you only use one card per array? If I want 16 drives total, do I need to have a card that supports 16 drives or can I use two 8 channel cards?
