Hi guys , my Synology 4bays Nas cannot cope with the amount of data I'm throwing at it 😄 so decided to build a Nas to accommodate many more hdd's.
I would need suggestions about which raid 5 controller card to purchase without the need to remortgage my house lol..., any recommendation please, I'm looking for 6 to 8 ports .
thanks
 
Are you sure it’s the raid controller that is slow and not the spindle speed of disks?
 
If money is a issue, look at using freenas and a few Dell PERC H310 flashed to IT mode.
 
As above, use FreeNAS, and then you don’t need to worry about buying an expensive RAID card. If you do want to go hardware RAID, you can usually pickup a cheap HP SA with battery backed cache on ebay.
