But I couldn't find a definitive answer to my question. I'm looking to find out if anyone has much experience with running 4.9 and SATA RAID, and if so what specific cards/chipsets/etc worked well. In particular, I'd like to know if anyone has tried hardware that supports RAID 0+1, or just plain RAID 0 and how well it performed in 4.9 if at all. I'm not interested in 5-RELEASE, as this will be a production machine. Most of the info I've seen so far was either too vague for my liking, or was talking about SATA in relation to 5.x.
