What is recommended BIOS settings for Intel Matrix RAID and Linux?
I am setting up a Precision T5500 that has the Intel ICH10 chipset. I have setup as RAID 1 in Windows with BIOS settings in the past, many, many times.
I understand this a "Fake" or Host Based RAID.
I would like to setup a RAID 1 via Linux, Centos 6.5, as software. Luckily, Centos 6.5 will make the RAID partition at install, no working with mdraid or tedious steps in creating software RAID on drives like the old days.
What is recommended setting for BIOS, AHCI or RAID? If I select RAID 1 and then setup as software RAID in Linux, will that make things worse?
Should I just leave as AHCI?
Reason for RAID in BIOS is for rebuild in case of failures, unless I am incorrect and this won't work well in Linux.
Thanx
