Using raid on a vm server

[Syiko]

Hi, im a total noob when it comes to storage on computers, i have only run raid 0 through my mobo on a gaming pc. Im planning on running a server with vm's using proxmox. I want to have a raid 1 config with 2 ssds for a bootdrive containing proxmox and the other operatingsystems. Im planning on having plex or a nas as one vm, but then i want to use raid 5 for the main storage. 

 

The server i am building is using a asus mobo with support for Asus Pike. Should i use that to configure both my raids or just a raid card? Sorry if my post was confusing

 

Specs:

Mobo: Asus Z8NA-D6 socket 1366 x58

Cpu(s): 2x x5675 xeon 3,06Ghz 6core 12thread

RAM: 2x8gb 1333Mhz ecc (going to add more probably)

Storage: Havent decided size of disks but prolly 2x240gb and 2-4x2TB hdd

Psu: Corsair rm650x

Case: standard rack mount

PROXMOX offers ZFS as a file system which supports software RAID. Just use that.

 

Being a VM server you'd get the best performance if you use RAID10 as oppose to parity RAID (to store the VMs).
