Hello all you home server folk!
So searching through OCN, i've noticed no one really talks about raid cards in their home system builds. But even more specifically, how they cable manage their raid cables & drives. I'm coming up to my 6th build on my own and im interested in using a raid card this time. But, no one has them on the intel build forums. So i've come here to ask you server guys.
1) I know there are some benefits to running an independent raid card. But are their benefits i don't know about? (feel free to elaborate)
2) Do you know of a good example on a system build (im still combing the forums) using a mid/full tower with a raid card setup? (cable management more then anything)
3) As a home system what should i avoid getting? Raid 10 (storage) Raid 0 (OS) I figured the OS backup is well enough for what i want to do.
Thanks for looking. Feel free to call red flags and criticize.
