Question: How much is the performance of computer affected if I were to use software raid (1) in Linux?
Computer:
2.66 Ghz Dual Core
2GB ram
300GB, 500 GB, 500 GB hard drives (7200 rpm each)
Intel® Desktop Board DQ965GF
I'll be running simulations which involves fair deal of reading from and writing to drives, in addition to CPU usage. I'd like to make sure that performance wouldn't be affected considerably if I were to use softraid in Linux.
Thanks in advance.
