I currently have 5x2TB and 2x500GB drives. I'm not sure what to do about setting these up in a machine i'm building.
I'd very much like to be able to potentially move the array to a new machine in the far future, but then i'm unsure if pci-e raid controllers are reliable enough to last a long time.
Also, what's capable of handling 10 drives, or should i look at getting like 2x8 slot cards. I also would need the ability to add more drives in the future when needed.
I don't have $1500 to drop on a Drobo or a pre-made system that i can throw drives in, i have a machine capable of running what i want, just need to figure out how to configure these damn drives.
