RAID five with SSD Drive
I am getting ready to build a Server for a customer, and I cannot find a reliable RAID card, and the Dell build is very costly. This is a small office with three people and the have about 12 Gigs with of files. to spend 5,000 on a sever is not responsible.
Has anybody ran a Windows 2012R Server with RAID 5 SSD's? I think it would be pretty fast, and I think the SSD hardware would get past some parity checks windows does because the SSD would do it internally?
I am right or wrong here. Please help me vet this idea
Thanks,
Rick

Not sure what hardware you are using for a server, but a lot of midrange desktop machines support mirroring straight out of the box. A pair of mirrored SSDs should be fine for what you want.
Agree - why RAID 5? Use a mirror of 2 drives. It's only 12 GB of data you say - 2x250 GB SSDs should be fine.
