Totally new to raid card world,
I understand how raids work, and what can cause them to die.
I bought 4 wd 3tb red during cyber Monday event on amazon. With the intention of raiding them into raid 5. Except I don't know what's the best card for my needs, this array will be for my .iso backups of old discs. And a huge .mkv collection. Pretty much it....
I see that a lot of the lsi cards come with 512mb ram, I am guessing that's enough for my type of raid usage?
Thanks for the help
