I'm just about to kick off a new build (DQ6, x6800) and I intend to use 3*320GB WD in a Raid 5 configuration. I was wondering about using the mobo's raid support versus buying a dedicated raid card? I was thinking of starting off with the mobo, and if performance is not satisfactory upgrading to a Highpoint Rocket RAID 2310. Has anyone got any ideas/opinions on this? Thanks.
raid question
- Thread starter mk17
- Start date
Thanks for that, I'm thinking about the 2310 four port solution with 3*320s. However, I'm working from a Gigabyte DQ6, the only available PCIe slot is an x16. I don't have a PCI-E x4. Can I plug the 2310 into the x16 slot without frying things?
[EDIT]
A quick look on Highpoint's website shows that its also x8 and x16 compatible
