Hello to @ALL,
thanks to @kgp for the great guide...I think to build up a system soon with ASUS x299 Prime Deluxe.
Hope not to be off-topic, but I have 2 questions:
someone have tried the RAID hardware configuration through BIOS setup? can macOS see the RAID Disk/Volume?
other question is about a 10GbE ethernet card...what the best for macOS X?
This: ASUS XG-C100C...it uses the chip aquantia AQC107...maybe the same chip will be used inside iMac Pro...has anyone had the opportunity to try it?
Thank You very much!
I was thinking about RAID 5 at the beginning of this thread and build...
and with @kgp and other people advices I abondoned this project.
Today I'm very happy user of my free Terabytes for backups without any RAID
I have daily/weekly backup on first HDD always in(PC) which is cloned or updated on 2nd HDD twice per month
which is connected only for data manual cloning or update
- everything is formatted on exFat so I can use it on Windows and OS X without additional kext etc...
... so for me it's a beautiful thing... maybe it's not the best way,
maybe sometimes it take few minutes more, but in my opinion (today) it's much better way than my old ideas with RAIDs
and 10 Gb cards you will find on SmallTree site
we all use their drivers for our 2nd lan I211
