I'd guess that writes may be slower, reads may be faster (if balanced) but data security is improved. I did some testing on machines with 3xMLC FusionIO Drive2s with 1.2TB. Comparing 1 drive and 2 drives in RAID-1 the difference in performance was minimal. However, a 3 drive mirror was noticeably slower. This was all with ubuntu 12.04 using 3.8.latest kernel and software RAID. RAID-0 was by far the fastest, about 30% faster than either a single or a pair of drives in RAID-1 -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
