Hi,
Im currently in the market, looking for a new Raid Controller for a home server.
Ive been looking at Adaptec, Dell PERC and LSI MegaRaid, but cant seem to find the right one.
My rig is:
1 x AMD Ryzen 1700x
4 x 16GB DDR4
1 x ASRock x370 Taichi mobo
1 x Nvidia GT 10xx GPU.
6 x 6TB HGST Desktar NAS
The server is running VMware ESXi 6.5 U1
The hosts will be storing large files, that dosent require much IOPS - but will require IOPS for Plex.
Ive found several controllers, but they all seem to be from 2013-2015 and im not sure, that i want to spend that amount of money on an old controller.
Im fairly new to Raid Controllers not being shipped by OEM providers, so all the help i can get is much appreciated!
Thinking Raid 5 or Raid 6 - no SSD cache is necesarry.
Thanks in advance.
