Have had excellent luck for 7 years with a BroadCom Megaraid card, with cachevault protection, running a NAS with 12 4TB seagate drives.
Want to replace this with 12 3.8TB SSD's (planning to use Intel's latest DC drives). Those Seagate enterprise drives have been magnificent, except for the firmware bug which bricked them after a certain number of hours (which i was nimble enough to fix before we lost more than 3).
The burning question, is should i bother to run the RAID card. It doesn't seem like ZFS has RAID 6. Raid 6 is superior to Raid 5, in that you can lose 2 drives without data loss in Raid 6 (60).
Perhaps someone can chime in with their experiences.
SSD will be a lot faster, and iexpect to connect it with 10Gbit ethernet. But the question is, should i use another RAID card?
