I've ordered a server from a local supplier (long story) and I ordered it as:
2TB m.2 drives x 3 configured as mirrored RAID array plus 1 hot spare. This is the standard configuration I use in most of the servers I use. Normally, I've just bought the parts and assembled them but for this one, the buyer's brother owns the computer supplier, yada, yada...
Anyway, they have the server ready to go EXCEPT they can't find a suitable RAID controller card (I usually use Intel, but haven't used one with M.2 drives.
Anyone here have an helpful input here? They seem to be unable to find an m.2 RAID card that supports booting to the RAID array. I've never used one with M.2, always SATA which acts like any other SATA.
I'd like to have the redundancy, but I'm thinking about bailing on the RAID altogether. I'm not comfortable without a mirror for the boot drive, but recognize that it is probably nonessential in the era of M.2.
Thanks for any suggestions, particularly if you know of a RAID card that will work with M.2 boot drives. |
