Yet another RAID-10 vs RAID-5 question
Tuesday, April 17th, 2007Posted in Storage Interconnects & RAID, Advisor - Tom
Question to the Storage Advisors: The age old question…RAID 5 vs. RAID 0+1 with a twist on spindles. Here’s the deal: Multiple Progress databases. Much more read intensive that write intensive. Which is faster: (2) RAID0 sets of 4 disks that are then mirrored (8 disks total) OR all 8 disks in a RAID5 config? I’m trying to figure out if more disk spindles outperforms less spindles without the RAID5 overhead.
