RAID done by the motherboard, either completely on its own, or requiring specialist drivers. And is depending heavily on the motherboard for its existence, and quite likely to use the drives in a manner incompatible with anything else (such as having to replace the motherboard, or having to pull out a drive to read it on something else). The same can probably be said for drives plugged into a daughterboard into the motherboard. And I dare say for external boxes full of hard drives that appear like mass storage to the computer. I'd say the most foolproof scheme is a bunch of drives plugged into multiple drive ports on the motherboard, and having the OS create a RAID out of them. While some will argue about the potential speed differences between the various schemes, and others will argue it's not really that significant, the original poster's purpose for the system would suggest reliability is the main criteria. They're not doing high-speed data processing (such as rendering 3-D raytracing or high def video editing). -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
