1999-01-24 Thread Evgeny Stambulchik
Hello all, I need a very fast device for reading/analyzing huge chunks of data, typically hundreds of MB (which are created by a slow process, so write performance is not really important for me). From what I've read in the HOWTO, RAID-1 with N disks should give an N-fold increase in the read per
