Onboard/Intel Raid vs Software Raid

[Craftplorer]

Hi,

quick question i have a Asus Fatal1ty z97 killer motherboard with a i7 4790k and a SSD as main Drive with Windows installed.

Now i wanne setup storage for all my old DVDs and Pictures and i was thinking about Raid 5 to get a bit of failure safety.

Should i set-up the Raid via a Software and when yes which on or should i use the onboard Raid feature. 

My main concern is what happends when my mainboard breaks?

 

Im kinde new to the Raid stuff so it shouldnt be so complicated and i dont want to use a complete safe solution with ZFS and stuff like this because it way to much affort for just some DVD data.

 

 

Sry for my english, im from germany

 

Hope someone can help me.
