T320 Tower Server With Raid/No Controller , Will it work?
I am about to buy T320 Server, having some question,
It's just very small office use (2-3 user) ,
1. Is it OK if it has no Controller/Raid configuration?
I can save 128.97 (hot plugged - chassis) + 160.57 (H310 PERC) = 289.54 $
2. If I buy both items above (Chassis + H310) but use only 1 HDD (config H310 PERC to No RAID),
Does it has any differnces compared to NO Raid/No controller
3. For the installation , Can it be done by normal user with basic computer knowledge?
the installation cost so much 354 $ ouch!

1. Yes, you can use no RAID controller.
2. The difference in performance between a single-disk RAID 0 on an H310 and non-RAID will be negligible. Performance of a single-disk RAID 0 on a better controller, like the H700, would be significantly better than non-RAID.
3. If you have installed an OS before, then this is not "terribly" different ... it is more advanced, but it is the same concept. Managing the server is a different story.
