Specs of the card:
I may post more info a bit later looking for some suggestions on how to best utilize the RAID. I want to use it for Final Cut Pro X projects and maybe DP projects as well. Also I suppose I could move my sample library a drive or pair of drives in the RAID enclosure. I guess since they drives connect to a PCIe card they could get more bandwidth than connected on the internal SATA bus, but then not sure if that's even a factor with conventional drives? Of course, maybe if I pair a couple drives up, that would make a difference.• RAID level 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and JBOD
• Multiple RAID Support
• BIOS Boot to RAID with point-to-point connectivity or through port multiplier
• Quick, Background or Foreground Initialization
I'm pretty sure I have 7 drives in the enclosure. I'm hoping to put together SOME kind of plan beforehand and decide whether I want redundancy, etc. It could be rather complicated.
By the way... I hadn't posted this link before because there had only been "1 available" for a while and I didn't have the $$$ for it until today and it was $60 less than anywhere else I found online. Still, it sat there for a while so it's probably close to an EOL product. If I did not get the drive enclosure free with 7 drives free, I might not be buying a card like this.
