Hi guys. Sorry if seems lik a very stupid question. But here it goes.
Ive recently got my hand on a IBM ServerRAID M5014. The reason i bought it, was because i needed more SATA 6gbps ports in my home server and i got it pretty cheap (about 25% of the retail price). So now im just trying to get to know my new RAID card and im trying to understand what kind of RAID i should be using. Since i have 5 WD Caviar Green 3TB drives, im a bit reluctant to use RAID since theese dives are know for not beeing good in RAID configurations. So any advice on how i should proceed is greatly appropriated. Im also thinking (after reading this thread) of relflasing it to an LSI firmware. But why should i do that? Is thee a reason for running the LSI firmware instead of the IBM? Pros/Cons?
Thank you for any assistance.
