Hi all,
Please, help me to select MB based on:
1. CPU 3770K
2. PCI-E v 3.x for something like HD7890 or HD 7950 or later HD8870
3. in addition to 2 SATA-3 (6Gb) has to be 4 SATA-2 for HDD RAID 5
4. USB3
I don't really need NAS that BTW costs from $500.
Will be just MB based RAID 5 work Ok? I need reliability and nice to have performance.
Should I better to look for dedicated RAID card for this matter and which one?
What I need from RAID is to be able replace failed HDD when needed and have RAID work on 3 HDD while 4th will be replaced.
No, I don't really need HOT replacement - it isn't server, but workstation that doesn't run 24/7.
Thanks.
Mike.
