new to this forum and need a little help.
i have a MSI z68a-gd80 (G3)
3x sata III ports and 4x sata II ports
ive got a crucial m4 64gb for my OS and 2 WD cav Blacks in raid 0 in my sata IIIs
i want to put together 4 Samsung F4s in raid 10 on my sata II ports, which means im gonna have to get a pcix card for my optical drives
my question is, am i gonna see a drop in boot speed if i have two raid arrays on my mobo? should i get a pcix card for my optical drives, or a raid controller to setup a raid 10 array and leave my optical drives in my mobo ports?
ive seen similar threads about raid 5, but i see alot of comments about raid 5 causing performance drops in your boot speed so i was curious if the same applys to raid 10
