Hello,
I have a Dell server with 6 hard disk of 300 GB. This server hosts virtual machines and user data.
I'm wondering the best disk configuration to implement:
1. Dedicate two disks in RAID 1 for the OS and four RAID 5 for data and virtual machines. In this case I will only have (4-1) x300 GB of space on the RAID 5.
2. Use the six drives in RAID 5, then create a C: \ partition for the OS and D: \ for data and VM. I'll have more space on partition D: \ for data and VM.
I'll appreciate your comments.
Thank you.
