That article reads like a press release for Panasas except for the parts that make no sense: Panasas contends that its overhead - 20 per cent - equals that of RAID 6. But Panasas does not require more space as the disks grow in density, while the RAID 6 crowd does. "In RAID 6, if you want to recover from a second disk, you have to go to triple or quadruple parity," Rosenthal said [apparently]. Adam -- Adam Leventhal, FishWorks http://blogs.sun.com/ahl
