Microserver Gen8 with Hardware RAID5?

[NickS]

Hi Guys,

 

Just discovered UnRAID and liking its slick interface, and it "just working". However after using it with FreeNAS, I'm after a little reassurance to how best to set it up.

 

Hardware is:

 

Microserver Gen 8

4 x 3TB HDD

1 x 128GB SSD

1 x 8GB USB Stick with UnRAID

 

The HDDs are currently using the P410 RAID controller to provide a RAID5 disk, though this is presented to UnRAID as a single device, and therefore not taking advantage of the UnRAID setup.

 

As there's no pass through for the RAID controller, am I right in thinking that I'm best to just setup RAID0 for each disk so they are presented properly, and then have the SSD as the cache?

 

Thanks in advanced!

 

Cheers,

 

Nick

Like FreenAS unRAID woks best with direct access to the disks, so the best option would be to change the controller to AHCI and disable the RAID functionality.
