Looking for a RAID 10 Controller. - Hardware & Software

Im looking for a RAID Controller that can manage a RAID 10 setup for a little project I am working on. Anyways here is a demonstration of RAID 10 [img]http://www.raidrecoverylabs.com/images/raid10.gif[/img] also if your going to squak about price and cost, Im just using some of [url=http://www.raidrecoverylabs.com/images/raid10.gif]these[/url] and already have one that we got for free with the purchase of my dads new GPU/other compnetns. (No clue why) So yea, RAID controller that can handle raid 10 >300

First of all, thank you for the explanation, but we know what RAID 10 is Second, how many drives are you planning to work with? Third, Don't you have a X58 motherboard or something? It's perfectly capable of setting up drives in such array. And of course, what is your budget?

you don't need a dedicated RAID controller for a small project like that, chances are you won't max out the one integrated into your motherboard and the extra load on your CPU definitely won't matter

motherboards sata cables are already used by a raid 1 and a raid 10 setup. (This is for large storage as you can see.) Its a giant storage computer for my dads company basically a server.

Uh OP i dont think you need raid 10 More like RAID 1 ( forgive me its been awhile )

[QUOTE=Axiom :D;26011016]Security and speed and because it was requested, I honestly would just do raid 0 with 6 2TB HDDs and I am aware it is 1+0[/QUOTE] that is a terrible idea and your father is dumb the point of servers is to be reliable and have a really long up time, RAID 0 is the exact opposite [editline]12th November 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=ineedateam1;26010976]Uh OP i dont think you need raid 10 More like RAID 1 ( forgive me its been awhile )[/QUOTE] yes

then what should I do, RAID 10 seems to be a pheasable option.

raid 1

How many drives can it support, all I know of is that it supports 2 drives

actually why are you even doing RAID just do JBOD or leave them all as normal hard drives

After looking into JBOD ill go with that, any other parts I need for it or?

lol 1 month ban

Why only a 1 month and not a permanent? He'll never stop trolling/being a dumbshit.

P.S. RAID 5 or 6 would be a better option.
