First post, so I'll try to make it a good one.
Local computer shop went under and sold off its assets in auctioned lots. I bought three boxes containing reasonably decent power supplies, cables and various older NIC's, video cards, etc., for spares and small projects I have planned. To top it off, I also got a brand new HAF 932 computer case for $27, still in the box.
When unpacking the case, I found a courier envelope in the box containing six, brand new, Samsung 960 PRO 1TB NVMe M.2 drives, still sealed in original wrapping. Total worth, around $4K retail.
After some time considering what I wanted to do, I thought I could use them to make a RAID 5 / 6 array in my planned RyZen 1800X gaming rig. This isn't something I'd ever consider myself, but with this gift, an over the top solution would seem in order.
I've seen many NVMe M.2 RAID 1 cards, but a quick Google search only shows SATA based RAID 5+ solutions. Closest I could come was a RocketRAID 3800 series card from HighPoint, but that works with U.2 drives, not M.2.
Has anyone here seen a RAID 5 / 6+ card slotted for 4-6 M.2 NVMe drives?
