Help with options for data back-up Raid SCSI?? Just some ideas

[Fishhead]

Regardless of the performance and price garbage...

I picked up a SCSI RAID card and 4 10k 36 gig harddrives..

I will be starting a new thread for the best way to set these up.

Thanks for all the great comments.

Too bad. You should have got 4 inexpensive late model high performance
ATA HDs and an inexpensive late model ATA RAID card and then you would
get much more storage that is just as fast and likely faster and spend less
dollars.

You don't know what he paid, so how can you comment on price/performance?

He may have picked up 4 used late model 10K 36G SCSI drives for the same
price as a single new Raptor, and gotten the RAID card thrown in - just
as I did recently.

What he paid isn't relevant. The current market price is the relevant
factor.

Not unless he stole them.

What model drives and controller?

 

[Fishhead]

I paid a bit more then the price of one Raptor drive and SATA card
would have cost me.

Less then the cost of 2 Raptor drives and SATA card

 

[Fishhead]

Assuming the price is the same..

Wouldn't 2 36gig drives be faster then 1 single 73gig drive?
And 3 drives even better.

The fact of having the OS - Programs - Data and Swap file on separate
physical drives.
Assuming the same model types.

If you had a 36 gig Raptor drive that was as fast as the 73gig model.
Wouldn't 2 36 gig drives be faster then 2 single 73gig model?

If speed were in relation to application performance.

FOR WHAT MODEL RAID CARD AND WHAT MODEL SCSI HDs?

 

[Ron Reaugh]

Assuming the price is the same..
Nope.

Wouldn't 2 36gig drives be faster then 1 single 73gig drive?

Depends on the HD model and how they are configured.

And 3 drives even better.
Same.

The fact of having the OS - Programs - Data and Swap file on separate
physical drives.

All three on a RAID 0 array will help. Have enough RAM such that the swap
file isn't a factor.

Assuming the same model types.

If you had a 36 gig Raptor drive that was as fast as the 73gig model.

The 74GB Raptor is the fast model.

Wouldn't 2 36 gig drives be faster then 2 single 73gig model?

Generally no as the bigger drive is usually faster. Rephrase your question.

 

[Fishhead]

Assuming they are properly configured.....


3 73GB raptors would be faster then 1 single 73GB Raptor?

That was my point....

Well Ron, just a few months ago you posted you own recent Fujitsu SCSI drives.

Can you formulate a coherent statement in English??...don't think so!

Too dumb to figure out I left out the word "that"?

In 2004 you posted 6 messages recommending the 15K MAS3735.
Twice you wrote "Use Fujitsu MAS3735 drives and fly."
So, do you or did you own those drives?

Wacko. Your usual fraud as you of course included the thread citation for
all to read for themsleves.

Huh? And you complained that Eric couldn't "formulate a coherent

You're as obnoxious a prick as ever, aren't 'ya Ronnie? Why not just
answer the question?

What's wrong with their sleves?

So Ron, this is your new improved meaning of a coherent statement, is it?
I think you should go back to the sanatorium, Ron. I think you left it to soon.
It does take it's time to recover from that brain hemorrhage that you
suffered and which caused you to leave here quite some time ago.

Anyone noticed Ronnie ask a lot of rhetorical questions lately?

And Ron, in case you wonder why I didn't come back to some of your othe rhetorical
questions, it wasn't because of that but because of your completely incoherent babbling.

Forget to take your anti-psychotics today, Ronnie?

The wackos keep slithering up. I never said anything about any Fujitsu
drives being the best price-performance solurion for a single user
workstation. That Fujitsu model at the time was the top triple cost SCSI HD
around. Ya wanna cite any real threads toto?

 

[Ron Reaugh]

A'll bet yr gonna start ranting about OE settings again...wait for the full
moom.
