I think if you want SATA 3.0GB RAID 5 then you need to buy an add-in card, which is expensive. The cheapest one I found was for $254.00 and it uses PCI-X, so you'd need to get a server board to support it.
Also, I don't really recommend RAID 5 for speed. It is actually slower than RAID 1 because of the over head of parity math.
As for the ATi -vs- nVidia I don't know enough (or any) about Solid Edge. It's very possible (and probable) they work with nVidia to optimize for them, or have special drivers from nVidia. ATi is not known for working with other companies in my experiences.
However, I am NOT a graphics expert, nor do I pretend to be one. My professional experiences are in OSes, Hardware, Network, and Security. So to say I'm wrong on the graphics is not hard to do.  |
