  RAID card or RAID enclosure

  Posted by Neil Sadwelkar on December 25, 2013 at 3:57 am

  Which is ‘better’, in terms of speed, complexity performance, reliability etc…

  Using a RAID card and a JBOD enclosure?
  or
  Using ‘plain’ SATA/SAS and an enclosure with built-in RAID?

  Or do they amount to the same thing?
  Obviously there may be a price difference, but is that significant?

  One difference thats right at the top is that with a RAID card your RAID is not ‘portable’ so you can’t simply plug it from system to system. It would need the exact same RAID card in all systems, right?
