I just purchased a new board for my Windows Server 2012 install. I plan on hosting a Drivepool arry and the machine will mainly be used for Plex.
The machine has been running well but I'm wondering if I should install the native chipset / SATA drivers. I've read a few threads that indicate that the drivers can have a large impact on the performance of the array but I don't really want to add any additional "failure" points.
So, are the default Microsoft AHCI drivers good enough or should I install the AMD driver package?
