Raid 0 for dual SSD's in optical drv together with RAID 5 in internal bays

Hi,
I would like to add two 100GB SSD's in the second optical drive space in RAID 0 for boot.
This can be done with a special bracket and cables to the SATA connections on the motherboard. So far so good.
Now I have 4 drive bays I could fill with 4x2TB black caviars for data and I was wondering if I can have those ran via the a RAID 5...
Anybody have advice as to wether this is possible and if the Apple RAID card is the preferred option?
Thanks!!
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
welcome on board
I think first of all your SSDs should support RAID. Secondly, what I learned reading the forum entries that Apple RAID card is far not the best possible option.
Why you would not like to use soft raid?

    Not exactly sure, I pulled those benchmarks off of notebookreview.  All I know from reading the forum is that HP Envy 15's in  RAID 0 seem to be severely underperforming 4k read speeds relative to the same SSD's  not in RAID 0.  The 4k random read is the MOST IMPORTANT benchmark for real world performance.
    Other posts in the old HP forum have cited that disabled C1E could possibly fix the 4k read issue, however the Envy 15 seems to have no way to access this option in the BIOS.

  • Best practice for dual SSD RAID0 boot drive configuration

    What is optimal stripe size for RAID0 OS/Boot Drives in OSX Software RAID?

    You are talking about SSD too.
    Usually the default or 16/32k would be fine for all those small frequent I/Os.
    RAID though can affect SSD TRIM and it may depend on the SSDs. There are RAID optimized editions.

  • Apple RAID card w/SSD in Optical Bay

    If I've got this right, you cannot use the Apple RAID card in the new Mac Pro if you have even one SSD drive in any of the four HD bays. What I'm trying to determine is if you can use the Apple RAID card if the four HD bays all have 'normal' drives installed, but still want to use an SSD as a 5th drive, and locate it in the lower optical bay.
    Hope the question makes sense, and I hope someone knows the answer!
    Thanks.

    Hi rlhinc,
    If you have not already purchased an Apple RAID card, and you only want to set up a RAID 0, as your post on another thread suggests, why not set up a software RAID 0 using Disk Utility:
    http://macperformanceguide.com/Storage-HowToSetupRAID.html
    With any RAID configuration the drives should all be identical, whether you are using 2, 3 or 4 drives.
    I have 4 WD VelociRaptor 300GB drives in a striped (Scratch + Data) RAID 0 configuration in the 4 hard drive bays of my 2009 Nehalem Mac Pro, and set this up with Disk Utility.
    The OS and my applications are on an SSD which is installed in the lower optical drive bay, and this set up works fine:

  • Dual SSD/Platter Set up

    My initial goal with this project is to increase the performance of AE by lower render and editing time. My first thought with this project was to replace the standard HDD in my MacBook Pro with a faster drive. Faster drive=faster project completion.
    Upon further investigation running through the forums a lot of people are running multipule drive machines a spectating there read and write drives to spectate ones to maximize the performance. I know some of the people who have thunderbolt ports are doing raid0 to accomplish this sadly I do not have thunder bolt.
    What I would like to do is pull out the super drive and replace with a second HDD to accomplish this same type of idea. The HDD drive in the optical bay would be a traditional 7200rpm drive in the range from 750gb to 1TB to store the majority of the large files I have. The main drive I would change to a smaller SSD drive for my OS and apps.
    All that being said I want the best return on my investment.
    Would I see significant improvement in my work flow? Or is it just a waste of time/money?
    If  I did do that how would I set the settings in AE to take advantage of the dual drive correctly?
    Here are the specs of my MacBook
    2.8ghz core 2 duo
    8GB ram (max)
    500gb 5400rpm drive
    OS Snow Leopard
    Thanks for the help in advance

    Unless you make excessive use of footage sources that require such massive file I/O, the advantage will be zero. Likewise, any advantages with using an SSD or RAID for disk cache will only show up, if the project is so complex, that using cached data will be faster than calculating stuff dynamically. AE has always worked this way and it still does, even if CS6 takes a much more aggressive approach to some of those things. It all comes down to what you do in your projects and it's the same like when to use MP rendering and when not or al lthose endless threads on the best computer for AE. There are no simple answers here. In the end, you could indeed spend a lot of money for nothing.

  • Dual SSD

    Thinking of puting dual SSD drives in my MacBook Pro (by removing the optical drive).  I'm thinking there are two configuration options...
    I could STRIPE it for a super fast single volume, OR, I could put the OS on one drive, and the swap file and virtual machine (Boot Camp?) on the other drive.
    Oh also thinking of a single SSD with a 1Tb drive in the optical bay.
    Thoughts?

    Is there any reason you're not just going to get a 120GB SSD in the first place? [OWC has a 120GB SSD for under $300|http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/internalstorage/Mercury_Extreme_SSD_Sandforce/Solid_StatePro]. So unless you already bought the drives....
    As to your actual question of whether OSX can boot from software RAID, I do not know specifically. I believe that it can, (correct me if I'm wrong) but I have never tried.
    However, I would be quite concerned about booting from a RAID0 or simple spanned volume. You lose one disk, you lose all data. You'd want to be very certain about your backups. Yes, SSDs are more durable than platters, but Murphy doesn't care about such things. If it were me, I would NOT RAID the drive, but just use one for booting OSX, and the other for data. (But I'm probably more paranoid than most people. )
    Me personally, I updated my 2008 MBP with a [Seagate 500GB hybrid drive|http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148591]. I needed the capacity for virtual machines but SSDs over 200GB are not at a good price point yet. So the hybrid is what I settled on. I'm finding that the platters don't spin up that much, which implies that the MBP is reading a lot from the 4GB cache on the drive, just like it would if it were a true SSD. So it's almost like having a SSD for most things until I fire up a virtual machine. YMMV, of course.

  • Can I install a SSD on an optical drive in a HP Envy Phoenix

    I just purchased a customized HP ENVY Phoenix Desktop - 810-350se CTO with a Raid 5 configuration (3 x 2 TB), but I noticed and researched that it seems that is better to have a SSD installed to have your computer access data faster, of course, I want to use it for the OS installed on it.  So I have two questions?
    1.) Can I change the configuration so I can add an SSD on a optical drive? (This will be the 4th drive). Since I am already using 3 HDD on a Raid 5 configuration and there wouldn't be any more space left, I am assuming that I can only use an empty optical drive space and install an SSD?
    2.) Is there a limitation of how many drives and capacity HDD can be installed on the motherboard? 
    My proposed solution is to keep the 3 HDD and install a  4th drive (SSD) on the optical drive and use it for the OS (Windows 8.1).
    Any suggestions and/or recommendations is highly appreciated it.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Your PC is already using a Windows 8 boot loader and if you load the SSD in UEFI mode then you will add another Windows 8 boot loader to the eligible boot device menu.  This will lead to confusion.  I would suggest that you avoid this situation by trying the following procedure:
    Be sure to create the external HP recovery media
    Install the SSD on port 1 or 2
    Disable secure boot in the BIOS and switch to legacy mode
    Boot into the Intel OPROM and rebuild the RAID 5 array
    Boot back into the BIOS and enable UEFI mode
    Boot the external HP recover media and load the SSD (SSD recommended size is 240 GB or larger)
    Once you are up and running then go into Disk Management and format the RAID array as GPT
    The above procedure may or may not work but it's what I would first try.

  • Adding ssd to mac pro with raid hdd

    Hi,
    In upgrading my 2008 mac pro (currently with hdds in raid) i'd like to add in an SSD with a clean install of yosemite and reformat the raid hdds for storage. What's the best method to accomplish this? I'll have to start over with the raid configuration i'm assuming because I need to give up a place for the SSD.
    Thanks,
    micaborn

    Mac Pro 2006, 2007 and 2008 models have two SATA data connectors on the motherboard, hidden in plain sight. They can be accessed by using a cable kit such as this one:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/MPQXES2/
    You can install the SSD in the second Optical bay. It has no moving parts, and does not run especially hot.
    There are MUCH faster ways to run a High-end SSD, by installing it on a PCI slot adapter card, but you should try installing a 2.5" SSD drive as a first step. You may need to re-organize where you store things, like in this article:

  • RAID for speed....for use with home recording

    Hi all, I want to get my G5 dual 2.0 faster for home recording with logic 8 using another hard drive. I was told RAID is the way to go? I am NOT familiar with RAID at all or how to do this but I am very good at picking this stuff up. Unfortunately this G5 only has 4 slots for RAM so I can only max out at 4GB. Can anyone tell me how to make this machine fastest I can make it? Thank you. BTW I have 160GB hard drive now running Leopard, which is the highest I can go.

    Xserve RAID is a Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (FC SAN) storage hardware product, and it has been discontinued. The replacement product is the Promise SAN storage controller series, and that is probably out of your price range.
    As for RAID...
    RAID-0 is also known as striping. Clumps of data are written to each disk, so you end up with the aggregate speed of two disks. But if one disk fails, you're rolling in your backups.
    RAID-1 is also known as mirroring or shadowing, and you can survive the loss of one disk. Read performance is decent, write performance is slower as you have to write to both disks.
    RAID-5 is a format best avoided; it's an old scheme from when disks were dinky and expensive. This format engenders massive I/O recovery loads on failures (approximately 80% of your total I/O bandwidth into the array is consumed for hours, and potentially as long as overnight for a bigger array), and the load increases as disk capacity increases, and (surprisingly) prone to blowing a second disk during recovery due to the I/O load, and leaving you with a catastrophic array failure. The bigger your disks (or the more unstable your disks), the more likely a second error will arise during recovery, meaning that RAID-5 is a format best avoided. It's comparatively slow. The Apple hardware RAID-5 controller performance isn't comparable with mid- or upper-end SAN-based controller RAID performance, in my experience with both. (Various of those SAN controllers have fully virtualized storage, so the whole concept of RAID is, well, rather different.)
    RAID-6 (various names) is a variant of RAID-5, with additional replicated data. If you want RAID-5, then RAID-6 is usually a better choice as it's less prone to blowing a disk during recovery.
    RAID-10 is a combination of RAID-0 and RAID-1, where you have striping across a mirror. It's a decent-performing RAID controller, and it doesn't have the massive recovery load.
    RAID-50 is a combination of RAID-0 and RAID-5.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID
    RAID is not an archival strategy. If your data is important, you need a copy not on your RAID array.
    Best bang for your money is probably a used Intel-based server of some ilk; the QPI-based Xeon boxes are screaming-fast boxes. A box swap for whatever G5 box this is. Spending a whole lot on a G5-class box isn't going to be particularly effective.
    Best "cheap" bang for your money is probably a SSD; your existing capacity is in the same range as the entry-level SSD drives. A disk upgrade. Below that, you're left with either an internal upgrade, or (depending on which G5 box you have) a PCI-X-based, or a FireWire-based or USB-based external storage, in decreasing relative order of performance.
    As for home recording, if you're running a G5-class box, then pretty much anything out there will work; performance will probably be adequate. Once you figure out what your I/O load and your CPU load might be, you'll probably either be happy with a minimal (disk) upgrade, or you'll be looking for a new box. You'll inevitably be looking at a box upgrade over time as the PPC gear falls off the supported list for the products you're using, however.

    *************DISCLAIMER***********
    RAID
    RAID is an acronym for Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks and also commonly called Redundant Array of Independent Disks.  A RAID array is created when one or more hard disks or one or more solid state disks (SSD) are combined to form a logical volume using one of several different configurations.  Consumer level PCs typically use RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5 and occasionally RAID 10 (0+1).  The RAID configuration choice is dependent on the requirements for redundancy, speed and capacity.  The choice of a RAID configuration will be a compromise between speed, redundancy, capacity and cost.  The different RAID configuration options can be restricted by hardware limitations.
    RAID 0
    A RAID 0 volume is created when 2 hard disks are used and then data is spanned or striped across the different hard disks.  The process of spanning data across different hard disks is also called scatter loading.  By spreading data across multiple hard disks, a significant performance improvement can be gained.  However, should one of the hard disks fail, then the entire RAID 0 configuration becomes unusable.  A RAID 0 volume combines the capacity of the hard drives being used in the configuration.
    RAID 1
    A RAID 1 configuration is created when 2 hard disks are used and then data on hard drive 1 is replicated to hard drive 2.  The process is also called data mirroring.  This configuration provides for redundancy in the event of a single hard drive failure but at the expensive of a degradation to write performance as data has to be written to multiple hard drives.  Since the data is being replicated between two volumes the overall capacity is limited to that of one hard drive.
    RAID 5
    A RAID 5 configuration is similar to a RAID 0 array except RAID 5 deploys distributed parity also referred to as checksum data.  Blocks of data are stripped across three or more hard drives and each hard drive contains block level recreation data (parity).  In the event of a hard drive failure, parity will allow for the data to be accessed through a dynamic data creation process.  The downside to the dynamic data creation process is a reduction in performance until the failing hard drive can be replaced.  RAID 5 performs best for supporting read accesses as write operations will be slower while the parity blocks are being updated.  Parity data does consume disk space.  A three hard drive RAID 5 array will have about the same total data capacity as a two hard drive RAID 0 array.
    RAID 10 (0+1)
    A RAID 10 configuration also called RAID 0+1 can be implemented in two different methods depending on the hardware being used.  The below left configuration is a striped RAID 1 array being replicated and the below right configuration is a RAID 0 array being replicated.  A RAID 10 configuration can provide a RAID 0 performance level even with the loss of one hard disk.  The downside to RAID 10 is the reduced configuration capacity.
    INTEL Controller Support for Different RAID Configurations.
    The RAID configurations used in this document are based on the INTEL SATA controller.
    See the below table.
    NOTE: Even though your system board may have the appropriate Intel controller,
    not all system boards will provide RAID functionality.
    Background Information for Creating a RAID configuration.
    You can create a RAID configuration provided that:
    The PC cabinet can accommodate additional hard drive(s) if needed.
    The system board has the necessary open SATA port(s) if needed.
    A SATA controller that can support the desired RAID configuration.
    You can determine the status of your RAID configuration by using the Intel Rapid Storage Technology (IRST) software.  If you don’t have this software on your PC then you can download IRST from the Intel web site.  I recommend that you use the latest version available from Intel.  Background information can be obtained from the IRST User Guide.  When you launch IRST, the help topics are an excellent source of information.  You can access IRST by going into the Control Panel and select Intel Rapid Storage Technology. You can also access IRST from the lower right Task Bar location.  IRST should resemble a hard drive icon and normally it has a green check mark.  By default IRST is set as delayed startup so don’t expect to see it active right after boot up. The Intel images being used in this document are from IRST version 11.1.0.1006.
    If the SATA controller in your PC is not set to RAID then read this Microsoft article if you are running VISTA or Windows 7.  You need to run the MrFixIT script before you reboot your PC in the bios and make the SATA controller mode change to RAID.  The script will then allow Windows to choose the correct driver when you reboot your PC.  If you plan on using a boot drive image restore then be sure to run the script just prior to making taking your image backup.  That way your backup image is set to allow Windows to choose the correct SATA driver.
    Before creating any RAID configuration, always make backups of your data and image the boot hard disk to external media such as an USB drive.  Additionally, be sure that your imaging product boot disk is functional, particularly if the PC’s boot hard disk is part of the RAID configuration.  Its best to use a commercial hard disk imaging product as support and functionality is generally better than the “freebie” software.
    Be sure that your PC is running the latest available BIOS.  BIOS updates are used to update the Intel ROM firmware.  Additionally, check for hard drive and SSD firmware updates.
    Summary of preparation steps in priority order:
    Backup your data.
    Test out your recovery and restore procedures.
    Update the following: BIOS, hard drive firmware, SSD firmware
    Update IRST
    Execute the Microsoft MrFixIt if your PC is not set to RAID mode in the bios.
    Create an image of your boot hard drive.
    Considerations:
    After replacing a failed hard drive, don’t expect the rebuild process to be fast.  All of the data that existed on the failed hard drive must be either regenerated using parity data or replicated to the new hard drive.
    I recommend that you use an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) when using RAID 5. Cached write data needs to be written to hard drive in the event of a power failure to avoid the loss of data.  You might want to consider disabling write back cache if you are not using an UPS. There is a performance reduction by doing so at the expense of improving data integrity.
    If you need a RAID array over 2 TB then your PC needs: UEFI bios, 64 bit operating system, GPT formated hard drives.  Review this Microsoft article on Windows and GPT FAQs.
    Since a MBR formated array will limit the useable space to 2 TB it’s therefore best to use hard drives that are 1 TB or less for RAID 0, 5 and 10.
    Consider the data growth rate and the size of the array.  The Intel controller will limit the number of hard drives.  The size of the PC cabinet and available system board SATA ports will also be growth constraints.  It’s not uncommon for a business to experience an annual data growth rate of 20 percent.
    If you need a RAID solution beyond the typical consumer level RAID configurations, then you should review the RAID options available from HP.
    RAID technology in not infalible so you need to consider backups.  A voltage spike inside your PC could render the RAID unusable and unrecoverable.  Corrupted data or a virus are other reasons for keeping backups.  An external USB connected hard drive might be sufficient for backups.
    Throughly test your backup and restore software. Always keep more than one backup copy of your data.
    Performance comparisons:
    All of the hard drives benchmarked are Hitachi 1.5 TB SATA III hard drives connected as SATA II devices.  HD Tune was used to benchmark the seniaros using default settings.

    Creating a RAID 0 Array.
    If you are configuring the Windows boot drive into a RAID 0 array, then you need to use the Intel option ROM method for creating the array.  Tapping Cntl-i at boot up will get you into the Intel option ROM firmware setup utility.  Once the array has been created then boot up your image recovery disk and load the array from your image backup.
    If you are creating a RAID 0 data only array then you can use the IRST when running Windows to create the array.  You can also use the Intel option ROM firmware setup utility.  Even though this HP VISTA RAID setup article is dated, it does have some excellent information.
    Launch IRST.
    You can observe in the above image the status of the hard drives attached to the Intel SATA controller.  Now click on Create. Select Optimized Disk (RAID 0) then click on Next.
    Configure the RAID 0 array by selecting two hard drives of the same size and click on Next.
    Next click on Create Volume.
    A warning window will appear.  Click on OK.
    The new RAID volume is now created. However, you now need to use Windows Disk Management to ready the volume for use.
    Creating a RAID 1 Array.
    If you are configuring the Windows boot drive into a RAID 1 array, then you need to use the Intel option ROM method for creating the array.  Tapping Cntl-i at boot up will get you into the Intel option ROM firmware setup utility.  Once the array has been created then boot up your image recovery disk and load the array from your image backup.

    You can observe the above status of the hard drives attached to the Intel SATA controller.  Now click on Create.
    Select Real-time data protection (RAID 1) and click NEXT.
    Configure the RAID 1 array by selecting two hard drives of the same size and click on Next.
    Next click on Create Volume.
    The new RAID volume is now created. However, you now need to use Windows Disk Management to ready the volume for use.
    Creating a RAID 5 Array.
    A RAID 5 array will require three to four hard drives. While it is possible to convert a RAID 0 to a RAID 5 array, I recommended that you consider building the RAID 5 array from scratch rather than use a conversion method.
    If you are configuring the Windows boot drive into the RAID 5 array, then you need to use the Intel option ROM method for creating the array.  Tapping Cntl-i at boot up will get you into the Intel option ROM firmware setup utility.  Once the array has been created then boot up your image recovery disk and load the array from your image backup.
    If you are creating a RAID 5 data only array then you can use the IRST when running Windows to create the array.  You can also use the Intel option ROM firmware setup utility.  Even though this HP VISTA RAID setup article is dated, it does have some excellent information.
    The following procedure will build the RAID 5 array with three hard drives using IRST.
    Launch IRST.
    During this create process, I will be using the last three hard drives
    listed in the above image under Storage System View.  Now click Create.
    Select Efficient data hosting and protection (RAID 5) and click
    On Next.
    Select the three hard drives for RAID 5 and click on Next.
    Review the volume creation selections then click on Create Volume.
    Review the final warning then click on OK.
    Now click on OK and review the final array status.
    Creating a RAID 10 (0+1) Array.
    A RAID 10 (0+1) array will require four hard drives.
    If you are configuring the Windows boot drive into the RAID 10 (0+1) array, then you need to use the Intel option ROM method for creating the array.  Tapping Cntl-i at boot up will get you into the Intel option ROM firmware setup utility.  Once the array has been created then boot up your image recovery disk and load the array from your image backup.

    The following procedure will build the RAID 10 (0+1) array using four hard drives using IRST.
    Launch IRST.
    This create process will be using the last four hard drives listed in the above image under Storage System View.  Notice that the hard drives are not the same size.  Two of the hard drives are 1.5 TB and two hard drives are 2 TB.  While it’s recommended to use all hard drives of the same size, it’s not required. The RAID 10 creation progam will pick to two smallest hard drives for the striped pair and then the two largest hard drives for replication pair but not the opposite as the two largest hard drives if used as the striped pair would not fit on the two smaller hard drives for replication.  Now click Create.
    Select Balanced performance and data protection (RAID 10) and click
    on Next.
    Select the four hard drives for RAID 10 and click on Next.
    Notice that IRST is set to create a RAID 10 volume with the capacity of 2.7 TB.
    Review the volume creation selections then click on Create Volume.
    Review the final warning then click on OK.
    Now click on OK and review the final array status.
    Conversion from RAID 0 to RAID 5
    If you have a RAID 0 hard disk configuration and you are concerned that a hard drive failure will cause your PC to crash or results in data loss then you might have an option to use RAID 5.  A RAID 5 three drive configuration can survive a single hard drive failure but not two failing hard drives. While there are other RAID configurations possible, this document will only be addressing a three hard drive configuration using the Intel SATA controller.  Some of the newer HP PCs can accommodate three hard drives and can be configured when ordered with RAID 5.
    Observe the below image.  This PC has a RAID 0 2.7 TB array.  To build the RAID 5 array, you will need to add (configure) an additional hard drive into the array. Click on Manage and then add an eligible hard drive to the array.
    Note: all data on the hard drive to be added to the array will be lost since parity and data from the existing array needs to be written to the added hard drive to create the RAID 5 array.  Take backups of your existing array in case something goes wrong.
    Once you are on the Manage screen then click on Change type.
    The following screen will appear:
    Select the drive to be included into the array and click on OK.
    When the migration process begins, the Status is now indicating migrating and the Type is RAID 5.  The hard drive added was 2 TB which meets the minimum amount.  BE PATIENT!  The migration process will take a very long time for an in place migration to complete.
    It’s much faster to delete out the original RAID 0 volume, create the new RAID 5 volume and then reload the original RAID 0 image from your backups. I recommend that you consider
    this method verses the in place approach.
     Click on Status to show the migration progress.
    RAID 0 to RAID 5 Observations
    I was able to shut down and boot the RAID configuration before the migration process had completed.  The in place migration method was very slow, about 3% per hour and hence my recommendation to use a differnet method.  Booting up from different hard drive before the migration process has completed results in a BSOD on boot up.
    After completing the RAID 5 conversion, I did receive a message from IRST indicating that one or more volumes is protected against a hard drive failure.
    Other RAID Migrations
    While there are other RAID migrations options available, they can be platform (chipset) specific.   Review this Intel Chipset article on supported RAID migrations.  Even though the Intel RAID migration has a safety function built into the process in the event of a power loss or shutdown, it’s always best to have a complete set of up-to-date backups.
    The migration process can be painfully slow.  The migration time is largely dependent on the hard drive sizes and the number of hard drives involved in the overall migration.  In some cases it might be faster to build the RAID array from scratch and then load the data back to the array verses using an in place migration process.
    It is possible to increase the overall RAID array (volume) size with some RAID configurations by adding hard drives to the array.   The overall size of the array may be limited by how the array had been previously formatted by Windows.  Review the information under the Considerations topic in this document.
    *********updated August 21, 2013
    If you are using SSDs in a RAID 0 configuration then you will need to have the Intel 7 or 8 chipset plus Intel Rapid Storage Technology (IRST) version 11 or higher to get Windows TRIM support to function. The latest version of IRST as of 8/21/2013 that I have seen is 12.7.1036.

    Hi would raid mirror be good enough support configuration on single server run both essentials server 2012  and  exchange 2013  new to exchange look for input and suggestions

    1) Boot Hyper-V from cheap SATA or even USB stick (see link below). No point in wasting SSD for that. Completely agree with Eric. See:
    Run Hyper-V from USB Flash
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj733589.aspx
    2) Don't use RAID controllers in RAID mode rather (as you already got them) stick with HBA mode passing disks AS IS, add some more SSDs and configure Storage Spaces in RAID10 equivalent mode and use SSDs as a flash cache. See:
    Storage Spaces Overview
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831739.aspx
    Because having single pool touching all spindles would provide you better IOPS compared to creating "islands of storage" that are waste or performance and hell of management.
    3) Come up with IOPS requirements for your workload (no idea from above) keeping in mind RAID10 provides ALL IOPS for reads and half IOPS for writes (because of mirroring). So as single SATA can do maybe 120-150 IOPS and single SAS can do up to 200 (you
    don't provide any model names so we have to guess) you may calculate how many IOPS your config would give away in a best and worst case scenario (write back cache from above will help but you always need to come from a WORST case). See calculator link below.

    Hope this helped a bit :)

  • Dual Booting Ubuntu Linux and Windows on a RAID 1 setup

    Hi,
    I just bought a Lenovo W530 with Windows 7 and two 500GB hard drives in a RAID 1 setup, is there a way for me to install Linux with dual boot while maintaing my RAID 1 setup?
    Thanks. 

    Hi
    Welcome To Lenovo Community
    if you want both in a raid on two drives, there is no way simpler than using fakeraid.
    Windows simply has only the fakeraid as a software raid and can't be run from a linux software raid. An Ubuntu 10.10 install to fakeraid is relatively simple but should not be undertaken without some understanding of what a raid install looks like or behaves.
    As a starter, some simple rules have to be followed:
    1) Install Win 7 first
    2) If Win 7 occupies the whole raid drive, use Win 7 disk manager to shrink it to make room for Ubuntu.
    3) Use gparted on a live cd to place all your unallocated space for installing Ubuntu into an extended partition. This will insure that you will not likely exceed the 4 primary partition limit and thus bar an Ubuntu install.
    Once prepared as above you should be able to install Ubunto to the largest unallocated space, as long as the partitioner recognizes the raid (ie the win 7 partitions will show in gparted). You should plan to run the install from the live cd so that you have determined beforehand that 10.10 will run on your system.

  • PCIe SATA Cards for RAID for video: Seritek 2ME4-E vs Sonnet Tempo E4P

    Hey Folks,
    I'm just about to purchase bigger, faster RAID system for my video editing needs. I've already purchased 1TB Barracudas for the drives and I have decided on the Burly dual PM for the enclosure. http://www.burlystorage.com/ccp0-catshow/burlydualpm.html
    The questions is which card? I've had a seritek 2 port card and also their expresscard for years without a problem. But some tests I've seen indicate that the Sonnet is a bit faster. Then again, I know that some people had problems with the firmware at least as recently as last spring.
    What do people say? Hatter and Japamac, I'm hoping to hear from you.

    FirmTek:
    If you would like the ability to support port multiplier enclosures and 3rd party SMART applications, the FirmTek SeriTek/e6G would be my choice for a low cost 2-port 6G controller with these features. This card features hot swap and is also able to hot plug Oxford 936/946 based enclosures without the need for a restart. Installation is easy.
    I use the SeriTek/e6G in the 2009 Mac Pro with Mac OS X 10.6.5. The PCIe 2.0 slots in the 2009 model provide optimized performance. >
    http://www.firmtek.com/seritek/seritek-e6g/
    You want a 4x or above card usually, one that has more bandwidth and performance, than those low end 1x 2-port cards that can't drive enough MB/sec to make using multiple drives / multiple enclosures.
    Well, seeing you went with Seagate, not my cup of tea, I would have said WD Black Caviar 2TB drives instead.
    Sonnet 4-port E4P is what I have used but it or its drivers may be an issue, totally unsure.
    PM today is limited by today's drives. When it came out drives were slow by comparison, a mere 75MB/sec while today one drive can shovel 90-125MB/sec or half of what a PM can handle. You only get in real world about 250MB/sec maybe (overhead takes away from that 300MB/sec per port). That means while 6Gb is great, PM enclosures like FirmTek5PM need a new faster PM chip. Again, no idea where that is or when we will see it.
    Maybe you should ask about SAS and be looking at even higher end RAID controllers from Areca perhaps.
