6 of one/ half a dozen of the other. Is there a huge performance difference between the two configurations? If not, the Raid 5 gives you more usable storage for growth and, if the windows environment supports it, you could reserve one as a 'hot spare' for better availability.
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/03/2005 8:47:36 AM >>> Hi, I got a new disk enclosure, singe bus, and 14 ultra320 300GB disks (HPProliant) to my w2k3 TSM server. I dont need all gigabytes, at maximum I backup 750Gb per day which includes weekly TDP backups. Normally the amount of data is 150Gb. Today I have one archive- 150Gb, backup- 600Gb, directory- 10Gb and collo-file-pool 100Gb. My question is, what might be the best disk configuration of 4 disk storagepools? One raid5 with 14 disks and one volume i Windows.. or 7 raid1 or your suggestions. tia //Henrik ------------------------------------------------------------------- The information contained in this message may be CONFIDENTIAL and is intended for the addressee only.
