Hi,
I just receive a new server with 5 x 73GB SAS harddisk.
I tried to maximize the total usable space when configure using RAID
5.
What I plan to do to configure all the 5 harddisks using RAID 5.
Windows operating system also will be installed the same RAID 5 ( I
going to have c: d: drives)
Is there any pro cons when I using the above config?
Raid 5 is slow. I thought the dedicated hardware I had would do the
checksums so fast and that raid 5 would be faster than raid 10 (since io is
spread over more disks) but it turned out not to be the case. I'd used raid
10 if I were you.
This++
Setup a 4 disk RAID10 with a hot spare.
