    Hi,

    now and then I stumble across DELL RAIDS in companies.
    Not just in PowerEdge Servers with Windows Server, but in Microtowers with normal Windows 10 as well.

    What I learned over the years is, that DELL was using Intel rebranded RAID Controllers and that performance may vary from sad to decent.

    Dont get me wrong, they usually DO work as intended. They can fail on updates and they can fail normally.
    Google isnt filled with bad news about DELL PERCs either, so it doesnt seem to be as bad as fake RAIDs.

    What Im looking for is for comments about reliability and performance, your very own experience with DELL PERCs...or maybe just a simple "do not use DELL PERCs" ? :p

    Im eager to see the results. Thank you.
