Should I continue to use onboard RAID-1 or Linux software RAID? If hardware RAID-what is a good cheap SATA card?
You’d better use Linux software RAID, if you want real RAID, you need to pay a few hundred dollars (it will have onboard battery backup, and there should be a way to tell you which drive is outputting the error, such as because you are Replace or repair on a good drive and oppose guesswork and accidentally shrink your volume. I am running 3Ware card under Linux and good luck.
I am using mine The onboard RAID controller of SUPERMICRO MBD-X7SBE to set up a RAID-1 array with two Seagate ES2 hard drives. We have about 8 or so in production. I will use this for repeated Asterisk usage to record all calls. We Buffer to RAM drive/tmpfs. I have read some posts about the built-in raid not worth the trouble, but since this is a good entry-level server motherboard, it may not be suitable for this? I only care about redundancy, if a drive Death, production will not be affected.

If you are talking about RAID built into the motherboard, please avoid using it It. It is often called “F “akeRAID”, and there are horrible stories about it “losing” configuration information and the amount of hoses. Motherboard RAID is just a cheap implementation of lower than standard software RAID. This topic keeps coming up… Check this link.
