Hello Everyone,
I am having kind of an Issue. I can't decide between a Hardware Raid or the Raid System that FreeNas provides.
Here is my Setup:
1) MotherBoard : X7DB8/X7DBE SuperMicro
2) Ram: 16GB DDR2
3) CPU: Dual Intel® 64-bit Xeon LGA 771 quad-core
4) ARC-1200 RAID Controller ( 2 Disks have been installed on a Hardware Raid 1) (FreeNas has been Installed on this)
5) I have TWO ARC-1680 PCIEx8 RAID Controller – DRAM: 512 MB / Channels : 8
6) 16 SATA 2TB Hitachi Disks
So now since I have twa raid controllers, I am thinking of going for a RAID 6 with a Hot Spare.
But I can't decide between FreeNas Raid system or the hardware Raid.
Any Advice or Help will be appreciated. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE...
Kind Regards,
Garish
