Hi! And I have one more idea: How about reversed (or offset) disk components? -- It's known that linear read speed is decreasing when reading from the beginning to end of HDD, thus leading to situation when reading from RAID is good at its beginning and rather poor at its ending. My suggestion (possibly) would make that speed almost constant in despite of reading position. Examples: RAID5: disk1: 0123456789 disk2: 3456789012 disk3: 6789012345 i. .e, the disk1's chunks aren't offseted at all, and disks' 2 and 3 are. RAID0: disk1: 0123456789 disk2: 9876543210 Any drawbacks? -- End of message.
