Hmm, that's actually cool ! If I configure the system with 10 x 400G 10k rpm disk == cost ==> 13k$ 10 x 1TB SATA 7200 == cost ==> 9k$ Always assuming 2 spare disks, and Using the sata disks, I would configure them in raid1 mirror (raid6 for the 400G), Besides being cheaper, I would get more useable space (4TB vs 2.4TB), Better performance of raid1 (right?), and better data reliability ?? (don't really know about that one) ? Is this a recommended setup ? It looks too good to be true ?
