Hello, I am working with several Dell PE720xd. I have 24 disks per server at my disposal with a high end raid card with 1GB RAM and BBC. I will be building a distributed-replicated volume. Is it better for me to set up one or two large RAID0 arrays and use those as bricks, or should I make each hard drive a brick? This will be back end storage for an image search engine with lots of small file reads from multiple application servers. Thanks, Michael ______________________________________________________________________________________ Michael Kushnir System Architect / Engineer Communications Engineering Branch Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications National Library of Medicine 8600 Rockville Pike, Building 38A, Floor 10 Besthesda, MD 20894 Phone: 301-435-3219 Email: michael.kushnir at nih.gov<mailto:michael.kushnir at nih.gov> [cid:image001.jpg at 01CDB780.8FACDD20] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
