Hi
If you want to save, you don't need a raid controller. Use a software raid.
Installing The OS on a software raid is not easy.
On regular computers installing many disks may be a problem. buy adapter to
install the Hard disk in an empty CD bay.
Have fun

Hi
Can't be done.
You're (to put it candidly) saying - what DESKTOP machine with lotsa disks be
cheap!
The answer - with your budget - none. Five 1TB disks will cost you some 2K
ILS. A RAID controller will cost another 600-1500 ILS, say 1K. This is your
budget and no desktop yet.
Either reduce capacity oir increase cost.

Hi,
I need to setup a Linux Centos Samba file server.
The server should have Raid 1 or 5 with a high storage capability (up to 4
or 8 TB).
The budget is around 3,000 shekels so an HP or IBM machine probably won't
be relevant.
Last, but not least, the machine should be Linux compatible at least from
your
experiences if not in writing.
Thank you very much,
Josh
