I have come into possession of quite a lot of 1TB Hard Drives, which I plan on using in RAID on a server system. However, I have a few questions as to how they would function under certain situations.
1. Would I be able to RAID the Hard Drives if I Connected 25 of them via 5x 1to5 SATA Port Multipliers?
2. If so, what would happen if I left 3x HDDs in a multiplier, and then added another 2 into the same multiplier after RAIDing them?
3. Would they run at a compromised speed for any reason? Do more hard drives mean slower speeds, or do the SATA Multipliers slow the speed of the HDDs?
