How to best RAID a Windows Server 2012 Essentials?
The server will mainly function as a file-server.
First install - the HP server autoconfigured itself as one big array (raid5) over all the 4 drives (837GB)
What is the best way of building this and why?
So after adding a spare drive I would not use Win but HP raid software (HP ML350p Gen8) to configure it as a spare right?
Tips on how to spread out the points for this question is greatly appreciated....is there a "best practice" on how to divide the points in cases like this?
I'm glad I could help! Good luck with your new server.
