I'm planning to switch to Raid 50, and also to purchase new hard drives for this purpose.
Since I'm going to get a new raid controller that supports SATA 3 / 6gb, I thought these might be handy attributes for the hard drives:
Enterprise / 5 yr warranty
1TB (I don't need gobs of storage -- yet)
SATA 3
64mb cache
7200rpm
The controller will likely have 512mb RAM.
I currently have RAID 6 and want 50 for the performance.
I am assuming that the bigger cache and faster SATA interface would both make a difference. No?
Thanks for directing me to any discussion where discussions or hard drives meeting these requirement are being discussed.
