Intel SoftRaid ¿Zfs raid 10 or SoftRaid 10 on Ext4?

[Jota V.]

Hi, we have four servers running SolusVM. We want to migrate to Proxmox. All four servers have four 2TB 7k drives and motherboard is Intel Soft Raid ready.

In terms of performance and security what's the best?

- Independent four ACHI drives and install Proxmox and make a ZFS Raid 10 with the four drives.
- Create a Soft Raid 10 on BIOS, and install Proxmox on the unique "Raid10" drive with Ext4

Thanks.

And if you need more ZFS performance, add a very fast SSD or NVMe card for ZFS Zil.

Thanks!, for now, we start without SSD.
