Hi,
I just got
forwarded a whitepaper from Hitachi and Oracle, that compairs raid 5+ and raid 1
using the TPC-C benchmark test suite. The claim is that raid 5 is as fast
or faster. While I'm waiting for a comparison or raid 5+ with raid 0+1, I
thought I'd take a poll with the list. The benchmark is using the
Hitachi 7700E.
Has anyone
heard other recommendations attributed to Oracle that are pushing raid 5+ as the
configuraton for "unrivaled performance"? Has new disk technology changed
the general conception that raid 0 or 0+1 provides better performance than other
raid levels?
Thanks,
Russ
