Can RAID Controllers act as non RAID controllers?
I want to build a software based RAID system, and need to
have simultaneous access to 24 drives. I will probably go with SAS controllers and SATA drives. From what I recall most drive controllers can only handle 4 drives, and most motherboards only have four fast PCI express slots. I need a way to hook up 24 drives to no more than 4 slots. One easy way would be to get a SAS controller card that can handle 24 drives without specifying a RAID level. Can this be done?
