raid

This is only my 2nd computer build, so thanks in advance for your advice! Two questions: 1. I have two identical M.2 4.0 1TB cards installed, and I'm wondering if I can/should use them in a RAID setup so that I can use a "single" 2TB drive for my OS and programs/games? NOTE: on the ASUS TUF...

hi folks, the lab where I work has a server with a RAID 6 (16 HD). it recently failed and the guy who bought it/maintained it is gone. Every time we turn it on it shows a different set of HD failed (please see attached pics). I thought was the controller so I bought a new one, but still same...

Hey guys, I recently got a GA-P55-UD for my backup PC and since I was rebuilding it and had two 120 GB SATA SSDs lying around, I decided to to run them in Raid 0, because 1) 120 GB is not a lot by itelf nowadays 2) questionable performance gains 3) they're not worth much. It was only...

Hello. I have a several raids: RAID 0 SAS HDDs (each connected via 6Gb -- SAS-2). And 5+0 raid of SATA HDDs. Both raids provide good read performance, but when I write to them, they start at insanely high speed (~1GB per second!). After some time, they become stuck for ~30 seconds. And then...

I am very new to RAID. As far I know RAID 6 can withstand two disk failures at one time. This is what I want. I heard that modern RAID controllers store metadata on the HDD so we can easily replace one controller with another. I need a controller that I can swap easily without loosing data...

Hi all, I'm thinking of buying a NAS to store my data of varying importance. What do you think of this strategy, I would buy a NAS with 5 bays for example. I would use 3 or 4 of the bays in a raid 5 configuration and when money allows I would put a large hardrive in the last bay and keep a...

Emphasis on the AMD. I have found dozens of articles that state that you either need to boot into safe boot and let Windows install the driver or you enable the driver by altering a few registry entries from a '3' to a '0' (iaStor, iaStorSVC, ahciStor, etc), some articles state that you need to...

For my PC build I have a 500GB NVMe SSD, but I also am planning to add extra storage in the form of hard drives. This storage will rarely be written to/read from and is just for backing up pictures and videos. I wouldn't mind paying fifty bucks for a 2tb HDD, but I was wondering if it would be...

So here's my situation. I'm configuring a new computer. I started with only my 2 NVMe drives plugged in, set RAID controller in BIOS instead of AHCI, installed windows 10 on one and then formatted the second one in Windows' Disk Management. I then went and plugged my 3 SATA drives, two 2Tb HDs...
