Which Skylake chipsets support RAID-0 and RAID-1

I presume that the only way to run hardware RAID without a RAID card, is using the chipset. Which Skylake chipsets support RAID-0 and RAID-1.

Thanks!

Nothing to see here ;)

Check the attached .JPG. shows RAID support for the various Skylake chipsets.

Yep, so that's Z170 and H170.

May I take this chance to ask whether a RAID card is necessary for simple RAIDs? Do they really perform better than the chipset RAID?

Thanks!

You probably will be better off using real hardware RAID if you are using spinning platters. HP P400i can be bought used for less than US$20 with 512MB cache and a BBU. HP P410i which supports SATA 6Gb/s aren't too expensive too when bought used.

Chipset RAID uses your CPU to perform the required scheduling and calculation. Dedicated hardware RAID frees your CPU from that burden.

If you find it interesting I can give you a performance comparison using my server:

  • Chipset: Intel C602
  • Processor: 2x Intel Xeon E5-2620v2
  • RAID controller: LSI 3ware 9750-8i (with BBU)
  • HDD: 4x WD Green 2TB (idle3 disabled)
  • OS: Windows 10 Pro

Performance comparison of:

  • 4-drive RAID 0
  • 4-drive RAID 10
  • 3-drive RAID 5

between:

  • Intel Matrix RAID from RST Enterprise
  • LSI 3ware 9750-8i hardware RAID card

I would really be happy if you do so! Thanks!
