pimpedout97x Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 so the computer i recently built, i was going to run raid 5. i probably still will run it, but this article has me thinking. it makes sense i guess, but at the same time, wouldnt you think it would just result in a corrupt file if that URE occurs during the rebuild? http://blogs.zdnet.com/storage/?p=162&tag=trunk;content heres some interesting comments posted about the whole situation. http://talkback.zdnet.com/5206-12694-0.htm...ag=col1;tbTools discuss...

treossi Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 why not go with raid 0? Quote Team sundownWESTCOASTSPL.COM we're throwing dbdrag events very soon visit the website for details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpedout97x Posted October 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 (edited) i want fault tolerance with that in mind, i am thinking of running 4 of my 6 drives in raid 0+1, speed and fault tolerance, i can loose 2 drives (from the same set, not one from each array) and still able to rebuild. but with that, out of 4 1tb drives i get 2tb of storage., plus the other 2 stand alone drives id have left over, so overall in raid 0+1 id have 4tb total space with raid 5 id have have 5tb of storage. idk which way i wanna go yet.

treossi Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 i see have you thought about raid 6? it's basicly the same as raid 5 but adds another parity block Quote Team sundownWESTCOASTSPL.COM we're throwing dbdrag events very soon visit the website for details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DC Power Kyle Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 OR a raid 60 I prefer 1+0 over 0+1 All in all, RAID 5 and RAID 6 are very very reliable.. I had them running in hardcore I/O for over a year for problems. Yes, raids can go wrong and can screw up.... just like anything can. It's a risk that you're gonna have to take. You can always make an off RAID backup as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treossi Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 yeah raid 1+0 seems the best route to go...speed and redundant... and 1tb drives have a really shitty failure rate too Quote Team sundownWESTCOASTSPL.COM we're throwing dbdrag events very soon visit the website for details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpedout97x Posted October 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 i see have you thought about raid 6? it's basicly the same as raid 5 but adds another parity block i did mention in that in my build thread, but i hadent read this article at that time, and plus my board i ended up with only does 0, 1, 0+1, and 5. not worth buying a card that does raid 6 either way IMO.

treossi Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 so with that board 1+0 is still possible... i'd go that route it'd probably end up being pretty fast... what are you going to use all this space for? i get media in crazy amounts and i can't even fill my 2tb's... i delete a lot of shit though Quote Team sundownWESTCOASTSPL.COM we're throwing dbdrag events very soon visit the website for details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DC Power Kyle Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Honestly dude, go with a RAID 5. We're not talking about millions of dollars worth of stuff. RAID it all in a 5, then get another drive to back it up if you're so skeptical. Raid 5 will slow down your I/O if you don't have a dedicated RAID cpu which is not built in to motherboard raid chipsets. Either Raid 0 it with backups, RAID 5 with (N-1) space with a little bit of a slowdown, or RAID 0+1 it with 50% space. I would go with a RAID 0 with nightly backups OR hell hourly backups.
