[00:35] What performs better? 3 hard disks in a RAID 5 or a single disk with no RAID ? [00:55] reads are faster in raid5, but writes are (typically) faster to non-raid5. Or that's the "common knowledge" anyways. [00:55] No doubt there are scenarios (like linear/serial data) where single disk reads could be faster [01:31] brycec: writes are faster in raid 5 too [01:31] it's random acceess that can be faster in raid 10 [01:31] mnathani: mdadm raid10 far 2 or raidz [01:32] is good performance with 3 disks [01:32] but generally speaking, you're not going to get much faster performance except for linear read/writes [01:33] as often you're bound by serialisation, and access time delays. [01:38] i suppose that's quite a general answer, if you have lots of simultaneous access then raid10 near, of offset is faster it hink [04:06] *** hazardous has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 264 seconds) [04:07] *** hazardous has joined #arpnetworks [04:08] *** toddf has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) [04:08] *** toddf has joined #arpnetworks [04:09] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o toddf [04:55] *** novae has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 264 seconds) [04:59] *** novae has joined #arpnetworks [05:17] *** alienresidents has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 264 seconds) [07:05] *** novae has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) [07:07] *** novae has joined #arpnetworks [07:50] *** thestereobus has joined #arpnetworks [07:55] *** thestereobus has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) [11:26] *** jcv has quit IRC (Quit: leaving) [11:35] *** jcv has joined #arpnetworks [12:17] *** exm has joined #arpnetworks [12:23] *** exm has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 244 seconds) [12:26] *** exm has joined #arpnetworks [13:27] *** exm has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [14:02] *** jcv has quit IRC (Quit: leaving) [14:21] *** jcv has joined #arpnetworks [14:22] *** exm has joined #arpnetworks [14:44] *** thestereobus has joined #arpnetworks [16:39] *** exm has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [16:53] *** exm has joined #arpnetworks [17:58] *** thestereobus has quit IRC (Quit: thestereobus) [18:07] *** Yamazaki-kun has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) [18:07] *** Yamazaki-kun has joined #arpnetworks [20:12] *** novae has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [20:12] *** novae has joined #arpnetworks [21:00] *** exm has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
