OP really needs to specify what they mean by server.  Enterprise server?  Home server where it really doesn't matter if a drive dies?

If you're running raid 1 then pretty much any SSD will work fine.  The chances of one fail are pretty low, 2 failing at the same time is near zero.  I've only had 1 fail out of 7 in service in my house and it was a Samsung 840 Evo that died early on in life.

Intel is pretty much bulletproof.  You could pick up a used 730 or 520/530  and it'll probably be as reliable as the sun.

 

Samsung Evo drives are on my "never buy" list.

 

Alternatively Micron aka Crucial I have faith in since they make the nand flash themselves.

It's all handled automatically.  You just switch you SATA mode in bios to RAID, reboot, Intel RST comes up and you hit Ctrl+I, then set up the Raid 1 array (these instructions may differ for EZ Raid / UEFI stuff nowadays).  If a drive dies you'll probably get warnings out the ass, you replace the drive, and it'll handle rebuilding the array on its own.

also what about ahci do i leave that alone

 

You have to change it from AHCI to RAID to turn on the mobo raid.

 

Intel and Crucial are my preferred brands.
