You would prefer 4-drive RAID 10 plus a hot spare to 6-drive RAID 10?
Isn't 6-drive RAID 10 superior in every way except for cost (1 extra
drive)?
I would prefer X-drive RAID10 plus hot spare in *any* situation.
But, this always loses 50+% of the potential storage space available...
Again, I'd love to see some comparisons of rebuild times on RAID5/RAID6
systems, using slow SATA drives vs fast 15K SAS drives vs fastest SSD
drives.
The problem with RAID5/6 has always been, the larger the array, the
longer the rebuild times - and the longer the rebuild times, the larger
the chance of another drive failure during the rebuild.
