I have a running home media/file/storage server/backup server (DELL SC440).
The server was originally configured for RAID but I have no interest in keeping the RAID. I have an external backup drive and don't want to get into talk about why I don't want to keep the RAID so lets not get into that here.
I have 2 drives in the server. One is for the OS and the other one is for my DATA.
Does the fact that my 2 drives are connected to the SAS controller slow anything down?
I'd like the server to be as energy efficient and simple as possible as well.
Should I just connect the 2 drives directly to the motherboard?
Thanks
