Hi everyone!
I am setting up a new machine which I would like to run RAID 1 on it to try and avoid HDD failure in the future.
The Motherboard I am using is the Asus P8Z77-V.
I know hardware Raid is much better then software raid / fake raid but I really don't want to spend £150 / $200 + on a hardware raid card just to prevent HDD failure. Can't justify / afford the expense.
Does anyone have any experience with the on board RAID functionality of this board? Is it fairly reliable? I have heard that FAKE raid is actually worse then software raid so i am very dubious about going down that road...unless you can convince me otherwise...
I am going to be running Windows 7 Home Premium, which does not support WINDOWS SOFTWARE RAID so that is NOT an option.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
