4*300GB SW-RAID5 - bad idea?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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?

		Best Regards,
		Hermann
