Hey all, I am working on a SAN server for my office and would like to know about hardware recommendations. I am quite confused as to go the raidz route or a standard raid route. As for what this will be doing, I will be having a vmware esxi server connected via iscsi and it will be running multiple servers, as of today for sure Exchange 2007 server, Blackberry enterprise server, several linux servers, running mysql databases and web servers. The options known to me thus far are: a. a large raidz array or several raidz arrays b. a hardware raid 10 array for exchange 2007 and then raidz arrays for everything else. c. several hardware raid 10 arrays d. none of the above
Once I find this what is the average rebuild time on raidz say a 1tb sata disk. And finally what kinds of cards will I get the best performance from for the use of raidz. Or does it not really matter.
