Raid 0 Help

[TheOnlyNexus]

Hey guys,

 

could somebody help me please. My motherboard doesn't support raid, but I really want to make a raid 0 with 2 850 Evos. I think I'll need a raid controller to do this. Dies someone know a raid controller with 2 or 3 SATA III Ports for about 50-80$?

 

Thanks in advance!

Thanks! Are there also better looking ones. Maybe Black, or are there raid controllers connected to normal SATA III Ports insted of PCIe cards?

Sadly no. RAID controllers are meant for enterprise work, inside of a server, where they are never looked at. You'll pretty much only see green PCD RAID controllers.

 

Also, what motherboard / CPU do you have? I find it really strange that it doesn't have RAID support. A proper hardware RAID controller costs too much and isn't worth the expense (Usually 500-700)

 

I personally would keep the drives separate unless you really need them to be joined.
