I'm putting together my first real NAS I have an adaptec RAID 16-Port ASR 51245 which I want to use with some WD red drives in raid 5, yes all 16!!! However I need some recommendations/assistance I keep reading articles and conflicting post that to get the fullest potential out of ZFS it is recommended not to be used with a controller card. However my alternative is an ASrock server MB with 12 SATA ports and not use the card. This is for home use but I will store tons of music, stream with plex, back up multiple computers and use owncloud for my office. I have lost plenty of stuff over the years and I want to minimize my potential loss as much as possible so I need the best solution with redundancy to protect my data. I do know about the ECC RAM which I will get based on the MB selected.
Thanks in advance
