I'm going to be building a new NAS soon and will be having 6 drives in raid 5 with another two in raid 0. And preferably the ability to have an ssd as a cache for the raid 5. However motherboard raid is apparently pretty crappy for raid 5, so I'm looking for a decent card. What would you suggest? It just has to be shippable to NZ, or preferably in this store: pbtech.co.nz

 

Mode Details:

Raid 5:

6x4TB Drives

>Possibly a SSD for cache to help with writes

 

Raid 0:

2x2TB Drives

 

I'm not against doing the Raid 0 on the motherboard and the 5 on its own dedicated card if that would be cheaper as I think there isnt much of a performance difference between motherboard raid 0 and a dedicated raid card.

 

EDIT: Oh and preferably nothing over 300 NZD...

 

plzhelp I haven't played around with dedicated cards before so I don't really know what to look for <3
