I'm still a bit torn between buying a 3ware hardware RAID for €140.- and
just using 'md'. The box is an Athlon64 3GHz, so it'll have enough CPU
power to do the RAID in software, but with partitioning etc, I think the
hardware raid will be easier to handle because you can just ignore it. As
long as the 3ware BIOS will handle failing drives, read/write errors, etc
etc. properly.
3ware (8506-4LP) is performing very badly here on Dual Opteron so I wouldn't
recomend it.
Even a software raid-5 with the 3ware in jbod mode wasn't great.
I recon that Jens was talking from a functional standpoint (hotspare, auto-rebuild, etc...). I too would be interested in hearing your experience on these. Also, can you expand on your "bad performance" statement ?
Thx
