What RAID controller to put on the SUPERMICRO server?

Question

linux

Hello!
Help with choosing a high-quality RAID controller for the server:
SUPERMICRO
SYS-6016T-U
If I'm not mistaken, does the server already have a controller?
Is it worth changing it?
I plan to put RAID 1
Thank you!

's answer Is it possible to add that X8DTU-F has only SATA controller "Intel ICH10R". And you shouldn't really rely on it.
Decide if you need support for SAS disks, what level of RAID you need, estimate the approximate performance and under what operating system it will all work.

Answer 2

It depends on what kind of storage you are using.
if sas then you need to buy.
if only sata drives put pressure on your pocket, then use the built-in capabilities.
