I work with videos and i'm getting out of space... so I need a big, fast storage volume, but a NAS would be too expensive to me.
So i was thinking about buying some 8TB hard drives and putting them under Raid 6 inside my PC with Windows 7 (or i can upgrade to 10 if needed).
My motherboard is MSI X79A-DG45 (8D) with an Intel I7-3930K CPU.
Many researches on the web suggest me that i need a Raid Controller...so here are the key features:
- Is there any Intel Raid Controller compatible with my motherboard i can use to accomplish this? Plan B is to upgrade the Motherboard.
- I would love to keep the storage outside the case, in a drive bay.
- It must be scalable. Now i'm planning an 8 8TB hard disks in raid 6, which means 48TB available, but in 3-4 years i might need twice that space...and i would love to simply buy more hard drives and connect them.
What could you suggest?
Thank you
