Morning all,

I'm trying to part out a home file server that I will be putting together and at this time I'm stuck with a raid dilemma.

I have a Asus Hero VI that I want to use as my motherboard for the server just because its new and its laying around also I know it able to run raid 5 via the motherboard. As my search for information has done on over the last couple of weeks I have seen many people talk about how bad onboard controllers are and to get a detected card like an LSI or adaptec, but most of the post are 2012 and older.

My question is can any one tell me if the more resent motherboards built in controllers are at the point were I don't have to spend $600 on a card also bypassing the potential of having compatibility problems as some post have described.

Thanks a head of time for any help.
