I have a Dell PowerEdge 2950 with 6 SAS disks and a PERC 5/i controller
what won't do RAID 6. I plan to have 2 drives as RAID 1 for the OS, and
the remaining 4 as RAID 6. Granted the PERC can do RAID 1, I'm tempted to
do everything via software RAID. Thus, if anything goes wrong with the
controller, I just need to obtain a new SAS controller and I'm back up.
I learned my lesson about not using RAID 0 for important data storage when
a drive goes bad!
What are peoples' performance and reliability experiences with 64-bit C5's
software RAID, particularly RAID 6?
Thanks.
Scott
