- RAID 1 with fairly ordinary (7200RPM) SATA drives has been working fine performance-wise (helped by the battery-backed cache on the RAID controller) and it will continue to be fine for the growth we expect.
- The RAID card's driver bugs & battery conditioning glitches have been problematic though, and we need to bump storage from 2TB total to 3TB total, and the RAID card does not support that. - Server is Mac OS X, which limits some choices because of drivers... But I'll take all suggestions and filter them as needed to find something that I can use here. - Obviously, experience regarding particular brands of RAID cards is appreciated. - Also, external RAID boxes with eSATA connections could be considered. - There is the possibility of iSCSI to some managed enterprise storage, but here I would want to know about write order & sync issues--what questions to ask regarding this and/or what brands/buzzwords to look for. Any and all advice and links appreciated ;-) -- Scott Ribe scott_r...@elevated-dev.com http://www.elevated-dev.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
