Hello gentlemen,
I currently have a RAID 5 with 4 WD caviar green 3tb off my onboard motherboard Intel controller. I would very much like to buy an internal card to expand to 8 drives. But I have NO idea what to look for in a card. I know I want internal with 2 SAS ports. But buffers and I should get a PICe card right? Any other features I should look for. Also and very important will I be able to simply add drives and change it to a RAID 6 without losing my data??
Thanks guys,
Fish
