Storage? I am Storage!
I am researching the SIIG SC-SA0R11-S1 for RAID 10, and am wondering if any on this forum have experience, feedback or an opinion regarding this model. Thanks.
I have no experience with that unit, but is there a reason you aren't just using the onboard controller?
What sort of motherboard controller are you looking at? The Intel "RAID" controllers are compatible from generation to generation. You can take an array from an Core2 vintage EP45 ICH9-R to a new Z97 motherboard and it will stay intact.Yes. If there is a motherboard failure, I may not be able to get the same model to rebuild the array. If the card fails, I want to be able to replace it separate from the motherboard.
Is anybody else even making high end disk controller chipsets? The Adaptec cards look like they're LSI now and I'm pretty sure modern Intel's are, too.
Intel has purchased LSI. Integration discussions are on.
