Subject: Re: Hard drive
The only reason that you'd want more smaller drives rather than fewer large
ones
is if you're going for very high throughput. If you want to deliver, say,
200Mbps of video from a single server, you my have to use multiple drives
striped
as a single RAID volume. In this way, you can spread the load across several
drives and even several SCSI chains, giving greater throughput than you can get
from a single drive.
If you're delivering less than 100Mbps or so, and you're using 10krpm
drives, you
won't likely have to worry about it.
