Hi List, Does someone have experience with Compaq's RAID controllers? I've inhereted a "22x7" system where RAID arrays are supported by SmartArray 5300 controller. Last weekend I had an opportunity to add a spare disk to the RAID5 array which consisted of 7 disks. I was amazed when the Compaq RAID Configuration Utility showed 32K stripe size for that array. The only my assumption is they use the term "stripe size" instead of "strip size". I was looking through some articles about RAID configurations and It seems there is a little mess in the English-speaking RAID terminology. Because I'm not an English-native speaker I'm a little confused about that. So my question is
Am I correct saying that: - strip size means size of data that reside on an each particular disk-member in a stripe set - stripe size means total size of data across all disks in a stripe set - stripe-width means the same as stripe size - ??? Do you know another terms?
