deep1234 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Hello. I am currently using RAID 1 (4TB X 2)as a motherboard feature with my Linux machine, lately I came across issues of not detecting properly when I moved to Ubuntu 16.04 64bit. So I was thinking if switching to software RAID instead of hardware raid using mdadm. The question here, how much processing power will I need in order for this to work? and my machine runs smoothly? Considering that my machine is from 2011. Note: I have about 1TB of data. Will this be a heavy on the machine? Please advice me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
