@durin5000 RAID 0, 1 and 5 can be configured both by hardware and software, each with its advantages and disadvantages. The rest of the levels depend on the motherboard's chipset; you can get a separate controller, but you must bear in mind that a hardware RAID will only work with the controller with which you create it, which is why I recommend using the one on the motherboard for everything that is not level 0, 1 or 5.

In any case, as I mentioned before, if you are going to buy the pre-assembled equipment and with the software pre-installed, simply indicate what level of RAID you want and how you need the drives to be partitioned; when the equipment arrives at your house you will not have to worry about anything else.

RAM, as I always say, is never too much; even putting in 64 GB, which now may seem like overkill, you can set up a RAMDisk and a RAMCache and you will have the fastest machine west of your neighborhood.

I have changed the case, the HDDs and some other things. There are few cases that can accommodate an internal DVD drive, 4 HDDs and be quiet, I am about to remove the DVD drive or share an external one.

@durin5000 Buy an external DVD burner, which will serve you better, and so you can use it on laptops and whenever you want.

W10 Home? A slap in the face! xD

Best regards!

@fassou I just don't see the advantages of Windows 10 Pro for a normal user, so I've seen the improvements of the Pro version are focused on companies and things like Bitlocker or support for 2TB memory that I don't need, I think? Or is there something I haven't considered?

Can I use a Slim drive as an external drive or is it only intended for laptops?

Regards. Antonio.

@durin5000 My experience with Home versions is always related to strange problems with user themes (permissions and configuration) and network access, and with W10 things have gotten worse with all these mega patches they release every few months.

Regarding the burner, I recommend a cheap external one for the service it provides, especially now that laptops usually don't come with one.

If you use it a lot, put the internal one, but I can tell you that I have already removed the internal one from several computers, broken from old age and barely used, and no matter how cheap they are, it's usually not worth repeating the mistake, it's better to buy some good USB3 pencils, as physical discs are hardly used anymore, unless you tell me that in yours they are still used.

Salu2!

Better Win 10 Pro, really and more so when you're going to build such a powerful machine. I've always noticed the Home versions (since Win XP) as second division and for more modest machines or users who don't even know what an OS is.

It's worth it, really. It's better to have more than to run out when we're talking about a PC where you invest a lot of money in.

Bitlocker is a marvel if you want more privacy/security with your data... plus you can encrypt USB drives and pen drives so they don't fall into the wrong hands.

Best regards.

@_neptunno_ Hello, thanks for the advice, I have already ordered the computer with Windows 10 Pro and 4 drives in RAID 10. If I'm lucky it will arrive in a couple of days.

Best regards.
