Best practice Raid groups for EqualLogic PS6510X
- by 20th Century Boy
We are thinking about purchasing 4 x EqualLogic PS6510X SANs (the Sumo boxes). Each has 48 x 600GB 10k SAS drives.
They will be stacked to form a logical pool of storage (all in the same location).
I understand that when you create a RAID group its done on a "per box" basis. So one box could be Raid 50, another Raid 10 etc.
My question is, should I make one box a "performance" box ie Raid 10, and the other boxes "standard" ie Raid50? How do people configure their EQL arrays in the real world?
