The Adaptec ASR-51245 RAID card turned up and I've got the following attached:
SAS 4TB
SAS 4TB
SATA 750GB
SATA 500GB
I'm thinking to create one RAID1 from the two 4TB drives, and another combining the two SATA drives (as 500GB each), and then join then using LVM.
So should I:
a) Set up the drives as just JBOD and use software RAID (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Server), or
b) Use the card to configure the two RAID1 arrays ?
the hardware is an Intel Atom 525 with 4GB.
I'm leaning towards hardware, but am open to good reasons for not doing so.
Thanks
Dave
