If I understand correctly, when you have 2 hard drives in a RAID1 array, a primary controller should be installed?
I'm toying around dell, configuring some servers and it has the choice of primary as well as secondary controller. What should be needed if 2 hard drives are in RAID1 and what is the use of such controllers?
I configured something like this. Should I keep the network card instead of the onboard one?
