SW/firmware RAID 5 can work ok. But that review at Tom's fails to show CPU usage and also ignores the rebuild load of replacing a failed drive in a RAID 5 set. Full non-host CPU/bus support is required for full/robust RAID 5 support. For modest configuration file servers(not app servers) that don't require high uptime/availability but just no lost data then such [S]ATA RAID 5 solutions are VERY cost effective as I've been saying for years. |

Take you meds, Ronnie. Conspiracy theories are not valid arguments.
