Proxmox and Intel VROC

[m.rossmann]

Looking at buying in some HPE servers for Proxmox where I have the option for using Intel VROC for my RAID configuration. Is the Intel VROC functionality supported with Proxmox our should I opt in for a classic RAID controller?

For additional info from Intel: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/software/virtual-raid-on-cpu-vroc.html

I would not recommend classic hardware RAID nor fake RAID on today's hardware. ZFS RAIDZ does raid better with better recovery options (you can move the drives to any other hardware and mount it if you need), and (with few exceptions) the performance is great (or at least good enough). Don't accept any vendor lock-in you don't need.

To further the point, ZFS is not supported on hardware RAID.

So, for what were you intending to use RAID?
