I'm looking at buying a new motherboard and a big deciding factor for me is RAID capability.
I currently use an SAS card that is a hardware RAID card. But it's slow and doesn't support memory modules so I can't/shouldn't enable write caching. Ive been thinking about upgrading to the Dell H710 from the H200. But given I need a new motherboard and that some support RAID I thought id look into it.
I'm looking at budget motherboards. Some support RAID but I'm struggling to learn if they are generally software RAID or hardware RAID. Also, what about write caching? Does the system RAM serve as a RAID write cache or are there particular motherboards for that?
The board i'm looking at right now is the Asus H170M-Plus.
Thanks
