bps
Hi,
I'm building a new system with 4 hard drives and i have to chose
between a raid 0+1 or a raid 5 setup. This is for home use which means
i don't care if the system goes down in the case of a hard drive

teckytim
Is it true that Raid levels like 1, 1+0, 3, 4 verify on the fly that

rather on make & model?

Diskless Blades boot to SAN [pros/cons] by
Jackson Houndmugger
Hi,
Could someone briefly talk about the pros/cons of having all blade
servers boot to a SAN as opposed to containing their own hard drives?
I imagine the scenario would look something like this: A SAN contains 14

created...
