This is something I've been hoping to discuss with the other members of this list. Assuming: 1. We'll be using Linux software RAID (md). 2. Everything else hardware including the hard drives are identical. Which will be faster? 1. RAID 1 with two drives 2. RAID 5 with three drives I'm noticing significant CPU time in IOWait and have a two-drive RAID 1 setup, and am hoping to beef up the I/O subsystem with the only realistic option being to add another drive and go into software RAID 5. I don't know if this will make sense or not, though. Comments? Thank you very much. Cheers! -- Federico Sevilla III F S 3 Consulting Inc. http://www.fs3.ph
