 | View Full Version : RAID1... what is it? ffeingol 09-19-2002, 12:58 PM RAID-1 is disk mirroring. Here are a couple of links with RAID definitions: http://www.solumedia.com/raidinfo.htm http://www.land-5.com/white_papers5.htm Frank andy18 09-19-2002, 08:29 PM thanks for the link... the explanation is good enough..:D apollo 09-21-2002, 05:50 AM what you are exactly looking for? There are different raid configurations and each has it's own benefits.... If Raid-1 or Raid-10 works for your friend, it doesn't mean it will work for you :) chuckt101 09-21-2002, 12:30 PM Originally posted by apollo what you are exactly looking for?

If Raid-1 or Raid-10 works for your friend, it doesn't mean it will work for you :) looks to me he's trying to find out what each one is and the benefits of each so he knows what he wants ;) universal2001 09-22-2002, 01:27 AM ok i have decided to use Raid7 apollo 09-22-2002, 03:51 AM For web servers I suggest RAID-5. For large and mission-critical database servers Raid-0 works well (if you need redundancy, then Raid-10)... For other applications, it depends what you intend to do.... high-speed write or high-speed-read...

Read: http://storagereview.com/guide2000/ref/hdd/perf/raid/index.html apollo 09-23-2002, 06:22 AM Yes, in terms of read/write SPEED. Not redundancy -- as I said you will need RAID-10 if you need redundancy |
