    p9x79 e-ws motherboard.. raid card

    Posted by Paulson Lang on May 23, 2015 at 6:22 am

    hi all,
    i hv a p9x79 e-ws motherboard with 5 mk2002tskb-toshiba 2tb harddrives. i want to make raid5 with this. This motherboard has builtin raid5. My question is if i use a raid card will it be more powerful? then which raid card is compatible with this motherboard?

    Thanks
    PL.

    if you install a hardware raid card from ATTO, Areca, Highpoint, or LSI, you will get better performance. Your next comment will be “are you crazy – these raid cards cost more than my motherboard !”

    Asus is cheap. Pro companies are not.
