flounder Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Im confused... Raid 0 is just stripping and while it will defintley speed up your system, there is no benifet in case of data loss as one error brings down the entire array. Also you say you need 2 more for raid 5. how many disks are you running, raid 5 takes a minimum of 3 disks and raid 0 a minimum of 2. So do you have 1 hard drive with 2 partitions that are stripped or what. If you have 2 drives and are going to buy 2 more, you will have just enough for raid six which is same as raid 5 but with dual distributed parity instead of single. (allows for 2 drives to crash instead of 1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

420gsxr1000 Posted November 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 well im running 2 drives as 0 (striped) now...i dont really care about backup that much on my home system cause thats why i burn a shit load of dvd back's...as for the OS drive, who cares, i can install windows in nothing flat.....but yes, i want to run a 4 disk raid 5 system, which will boost my speed again, and still give me a pairity check for a single drive failure.... 0+1 i was thinking about but i dont need the full mirroring....keep in mind this is a home system that i dont do shit on except spend $$$ to play with it , and concidering i am NOT in IT, running raid at home is fucking cool man!!!!

Putty Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Raid 0 = baby raid, no redundancy....striping w/o parity.... Giving up redundancy allows this raid level the best overall performance characteristics of the single raid level, especially for its cost. For this reason, it is becoming increasingly popular by performance-seekers, especially in the lower end home user.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putty Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 WTF is raid? I thought it was something you used to kill bugs with?Redundant Array of Independent (or Inexpensive) Disksa category of disk drives that employ two or more drives in combination for fault tolerance and performance. RAID disk drives are used frequently on servers but aren't generally necessary for personal computers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walther_gsp Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 isnt novell cisco now???Novell was in the OS/domain/server category. Cisco stays more in the layer2/3 or security market with their acquisitions. I've not seen anyone run Novell since I interned with the Feds 4 years ago. I'm sure there are still some big implementations out there, hell, goodyear still runs Lotus Notes for their email system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putty knows them well. Actually I think you would be suprised at the companies that use Novell as their authentication controller for LDAP. Even while your logging into Active directory, the LDAP authentication in the high order of the directory structure may be done by Novell. Just because it doesnt say novell when you log in, doesnt mean your not using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thirty-six 146gig, 15krpm drives in a raid 1+0 format, 4gig fibrechannel uplink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
