We have a pretty busy kafka cluster with SSD and plain JBOD. We planning or thinking of using RAID 5 ( hardware raid or 6 drive SSD bokers ) instead of JBID for various reasons. Hss some one used RAID 5 ( we know that there is a write overhead parity bit on blocks and recreating a dead drive ) and can share there experience on it . Confluent advises against it but there are obvious ease one gets with RAID ( RAID 10 is to expensive space wise ) .... Any advise /comments etc will be highly appreciated.
Regards.
