Hello,

 

I'm looking at upgrading my rig to a ryzen 7 with a B350 board and I am also looking at upgrading my storage and I would like some redundancy agaisnt hard drive failure. I can see that the board will support Raid 0, 1 and 10. So I could get two 6 TB drives but I am only getting 50% of the storage I buy. What are my options if I would like a raid 5 or 6 set up. Would it only be possible with a hardware controller?

 

Thanks,

I do plan to get an m.2 for the OS, I have 2 250GB SSD's that I will have as raid0 for my games (care more about speed here than the increased failure rate). the raid 5/6 will be HDDs for the storage space and I'd prefer raid 5/6 for some protection against HDD failure.

raid 1 is better for the ssd's. better speed, and some protection ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

get a warranty on the drives if you can.
