We are currently using Clariion CX700 disk arrays for B2D. We did find that
RAID-5 was the best performance for our testing. We also found that some
environments performed better at 4+1 and some performed better at 7+1. We are
in the process of migrating off the Clariion on to a IBM/NetApp
I have two Linux media servers setup with 3ware 9500S controllers using raid 50 with seagate disks. With our configuration this is two raid 5's of 6 disks each that are then striped together. I get up to about 70MB/sec writes and 300MB/sec reads after the readahead is tweaked up.
They are used
we see 40-50MB/sec when doing disk to tape jobs.
That is at the minimum required for LTO3. Is anyone using LTO3 for
D2D2T? I'd like to understand what does and what does not work. There
is some pressure to start using LTO3 as the price gap narrows, but I doubt
many of our systems can
Hi Monte,
I did one install with EMC DMX1000 disk with hardware mirroring used for a DSSU and I have to say I found performance wasn't great. Worse than LTO2 performance but this was writing to a fairly small number of physical drives, though performance wasn't an issue so I didn't spend a lot

We are just starting to set up DSU storage and have
completed some extensive performance
