(snip lots of RAID stuff and opinions)
Requesting clarifications. There seems to be several opinions based on
different questions. I'm very interested in the topic, but if you more
knowledgeable types could work through the confusion it would help.
1. The topic seems to be hardware RAID solutions. Software RAID has its
place, but not on this topic. Maybe a performance test later?
2. There seems to be different levels of board; for example the 100MHz
small system and the high-end boards that can handle up to 16 drives.
Can you address recommendations on *both* ends of the spectrum? Are
there eother product catagories?
3. Please support statements of opinion with evidence of fact. "You are
wrong." is an opinion. "3ware boards did not have a fast chipset until
the 7xxx series." is a more factual statement. "I run 3ware boards with
16 disks in a production environment" is a statement of fact. What
conclusions we draw from that are opinions. :)
For those of us new to some of these things, what sort of enclosure
would you use for a larger (4-8-16) disk set?
ciao!
