Im done massive amounts of research and I can't find anyone who is dealing with a problem similiar to mine.
I have (2) 2TB RAID 5 arrays on one computer (6hdds). I have extremely abysmmal write performance.
Here is the tricky part: I am writing files that are over 100GB a piece. Ive got the 3WARE raid controller maxed at 256Kb stripe size which has increased the write performance considerably from what it was when it was set at 16Kb. However, Ive been reading about the relationship between stripe size and cluster size and that a properly tuned system can increase my write performance dramatically.
I am a noob. I was tasked with this through my job and have taught myself quite abit over the last month but now Im getting to things I know absolutely nothing about.
Anyone have any suggestions?
