Hi Guys
I'm moving from unRAID to FlexRaid and adding more drives (building new server). I'm wondering if it's with paying extra fro WD reds with flexraid. I know they make sense with traditional raid, but when SW raid is checking parity frequently, is it required?
Saw this comment on a Newegg review
"Cons: Not a con but a comment to the user who had the drives go on and offline. Do not and I repeat, do not use these in a software raid. Get a hardware raid card from either LSI, Intel or dell (then again they all use LSI chips). Software raid will cause issues as I have found out in one of my raid setups."
Regards
