Server 2012 R2 Storage Spaces versus Hardware RAID, how do you decide?

@dustinb3403 Or at least in my opinion a lack of interest and or resources. If we think about it from a business perspective, are they going to sell more Datacenter Licenses just because they have a viable SDS bundled with it? I'm not sure, but I'd guess probably not enough for them to dedicate what would likely be needed to get them there.

That would be my guess. Why did Windows Software RAID never get to production readiness? Because MS just didn't care. Users moved to hardware RAID, no one tried to use it, not something to be worried about.

@scottalanmiller Exactly, just above InfoPath on the priorities list.

Which setting was it that you changed from what to what?
It's in the system setup section, can't remember exactly where, but something along the lines of "set link speed to gen2/3", guessing that toggles the PCIe mode, thereby adding way more bandwidth between the drives and RAID controller. I don't have physical access to the servers at the moment so can't get in there to give you the exact info, sorry. But Link gen speed 2/3 should be enough to help you spot it if it's in your options.
LOL thought you loved iDRAC?
They're currently sitting in boxes inbetween datacenters so unless you know about a more Harry Potterish version of iDrac that requires no electricity or Internet connection I don't think iDrac will help. :PPPP
