Hi, I am considering putting up a slow but huge storage area. For cost reasons I am considering 4* 300GB Maxtor 5400 drives with Linux Software RAID5. The CPU of this machine would be a P4-2.4Ghz. Some people told me that this configuration would be a bad idea as accessing the RAID would produce a very high load and the RAID would be very slow. Is this true? Are there any performance/CPU Load stats with Linux SW-RAID that I can have a look at?
