February 6, 201214 yr There is a small benefit from using an Areca Arc-1200 PCIe x1 for a combined RAID0/parity and RAID1/Cache. There are many conversations on the benefit of this controller. Sometimes you can score it on eBay for approx $100.
February 10, 201214 yr As Weebo indicated, there can be a performance benefit in certain cases, especially with a cache drive. However, adding any amount of hardware RAID into the mix will complicate your data recovery options. I personally prefer a slower server that offers easy data recovery in a catastrophe.
