Re: RAID for large disks

["Mag Gam" <magawake@gmail.com>]

Again, I appreciate the responses. 

Damon:

I am dealing with HW RAID. I looked for the "geometry" for my controller, but could not find it. 

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DocumentIndex.jsp?contentType=SupportManual&lang=en&cc=us&docIndexId=64179&taskId=101&prodTypeId=329290&prodSeriesId=1157686

I am very curious about the geometry too...

 I don't know enough to pick and choose the optimal setting. Since I am working in the academic field, I would like to really understand this "geometry setting". Can someone please elaborate on this topic?

TIA

If performance is uber-critical for your application then you
need to benchmark various different configurations under
realistic multitasking loads.

For most applications, it's really not worth worrying about
the details at this level.
