So, what do you think of a combination or hybrid raid; 2 HW Raid 1's on two separate 3ware 2 port cards (169 Euro each) and that striped with a Linux Raid 0? Is it better to use a 4 port raid 3way card (250 Euro) with raid5? 4 Port has a "one point of failure" in the controller. What other controllers are good?
I use mostly HP, but also Adaptec and 3ware. I have a couple of large storage-servers with 3ware controllers. What's good and what's best depends on the requirements and the environment, but generally speaking, if you're buying hardware RAID controllers, I don't see much reason for also using software RAID (mdraid). -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.4°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
