Part 1:
did some searches on here but couldn't find anything. my question is regarding raid 5 performance. both reads and writes. If i have a decent raid controller and i have 1 or 2 extra drives (so 4 or 5 total). How is the RAID 5 read and write performance compared to a single drive of the same type?
Part 2:
How much REAL improvement do you get in reads and writes on RAID 0 vs. single drive. I know it is no redundancy and all that jazz. but just curious what gains you get.
If it matters both of these questions may ultimately pertain to 15k scsi drives but would like to know if it is a different answer on a typically 7200 rpm sata drive.
Thanks!!
