Re: [OT] Deploying XRAID

numero = 53257
interpreted = N
texte = Will, I guess I can't see an Xserve Raid being implimented for a single site's WebServer... EVEN with a huge amount of FTPing. What Raid level are you looking at? I would say 5 is the best... but the smallest HD that apple offers is 180 GB! To get any use out of Raid level 5 you need at least two drives... Apples minimum is 4 drives as far as I can tell. Do you really need 540Gigs of storage space? Maybe you do?? I don't know. Anyway, If your looking for protection against a HD gone bad, I might consider instead, 3 ATA drives for your Xserve. Then do a R1 (mirror), using SoftRaid. I say 3 drives because I don't know for sure if SoftRaid is bootable on a raid volume yet... you'd have to ask support@softraid.com. Of course, there is APPLEraid (they have R1 also). This would save you oh, about $8K depending on your needs. ;-) Don't get me wrong, With apples main architecture being ATA (rather than SCSI), I think it is imparative to go with some redundancy... (my HD folded after only one year in my T1) Now that I haven't answered any of your question, I'll say, "back to your regularly scheduled program".
