So, I wanted to do the Maxupgrades improvement to the sleds and convert them to SATA III and run them in RAID 5. This will just be for storage. I boot the OS off an SSD in one of the optical drives. Can I buy a RAID card that has 2 mini sas connectors on it and connect the 4 drives in the bays to one of the mini sas ports and connect my blu ray player and the SSD to the other mini sas port and still boot the hard drive?
I know that the PCIE slot 2 is a 16x slot and I was thinking of doing it there. Just want to make sure i'll get maximum throughput with everything going through that card and that I can boot from it.
Any recommendations for RAID cards?
