Hi, We are putting in a very large application based on MS SQL and the vendor is insisting that we use 12 15k 600GB disks in a raid 10 configuration. Our standard is 10k disks so I would like to use 24 10k disks in raid 10 so I can use existing hot spares. This supplies more iops, more bandwidth; but the vendor is still insisting on 15k disks as they think SQL will have write stalls.
Am I missing anything here where the 12 15K disks would be better then 24 10k disks? Could the latency be less with the 15k disks? I really am trying to understand if there is a valid reason the vendor is so set on the 15K disks other than 'we have always done it that way and it worked'. cheers, ski -- "When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it connected to the entire universe" John Muir Chris "Ski" Kacoroski, [email protected], 206-501-9803 or ski98033 on most IM services _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
