Re: RAID question

2000-06-07 Thread David

well, i do think this is a bit off-topic for a Cisco list, but here
goes.  All major NOS support RAID 1-5, and probably 0+1, although I'm
not sure about that one  Most hardware RAID devices do the same.

I'd wager at least 95% of installations use RAID 0, 0+1, or 5 depending
on speed and cost requirements, and a few applications use 3 and 4. 
I've never seen raid 2 in use.

Search for 'raid' on www.whatis.com for a decent description of all the
RAID types, or read "The RAID Handbook" for everything you've ever
wanted to know.

Title: RE: RAID question





That really depends. I have always preferred using hardware RAID. If that is the case, the OS is fairly ignorant of what is going on. The main consideration is whether drivers exist for the NOS that you are using. NT 4 has the ability to do sofware RAID. If you are going that route then you are a bit more limited. However, the most common RAID types that I see on networks are 0,1 & 5.
