Hello,
I'm used to RAID 5, 6, 10, 50 but hear no one uses that any more. I need to build a new Windows 11 PC and I'll have 16 drives attached to it. I need one contiguous volume. Normally I'd do raid 5 or 6 but am open to learning new things.
I want the array to be as fast as possible (but without going crazy and buying 160TB of SSD). I'm getting full saturation on a 10gbps nic now - so my next config will probably be 25 or 50 and would love something that maxes it out.
Can you please tell me what you would use and why - e.g. hba, jbod or ... is better because it is faster because.
I'd appreciate you bringing an old fogey up to speed.
I have another computer with 160 TB RAID 5 for backup.
I'm ready to build something new but it has to be windows 11 please - I don't know linux and would prefer not to learn so I'd definitely want to have it windows as it is also for gaming, hyper V machines and my main pc so I'd like to know it well.
