[QUOTE="eetaylog, post: 364066, member: 47491"] I currently run a server that has 4*500Gb HDD's in a RAID0 configuration. Whilst ive been happy with this up until now, im a bit nervous that one of the disks is going to fail on me which would mean ill lose all my data, so id like to switch to a RAID5 array. My current server uses something very similar to this [URL="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/4-Port-SATA-SERIAL-ATA-PCI-CONTROLLER-RAID-I-O-PC-CARD_W0QQitemZ150304611575QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Computing_ComputerComponents_InterfaceCards?hash=item150304611575&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A2|39%3A1|240%3A1318"]PCI RAID controller[/URL] to handle the array, but im wondering whether to simply upgrade to a motherboard that has built in RAID capabilities. so the question is, are there any dis/advantages to choosing either method??
