Maleko Posted February 9, 2006 Author Posted February 9, 2006 Well, ill probably be looking at x2 80GB in RAID0, to make 160GB, then my current 200 as a store..
jcarle Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 My personal favorite is RAID 6. When the single parity protection of RAID 5 isn't enough, go dual parity. Anyways, everything else seems to be going dual. Dual core, dual videocards, dual channel... why not throw dual parity into the mix.
ripken204 Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 lol, but how much would the raid controller cost? how about dual monitors?
nmX.Memnoch Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 (edited) Unfortunately there aren't very many RAID controllers that support RAID6. You'd actually get the same redundancy from RAID50 (two RAID5 arrays striped). Or you could increase the redundancy yet again and go with RAID51 (two RAID5 arrays mirrored). Controllers that support both of those methods are a bit more common. Edited February 10, 2006 by nmX.Memnoch
jcarle Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 Now that's just an insane amount of redundancy!
Maleko Posted February 10, 2006 Author Posted February 10, 2006 Safety first eh? heheFor me to just get a SATA 2 Raid Controller, with 2 ports would cost me £70....and thats cheap...and that just supports RAID 0+1
