RAID 1 vs RAID 10 · **Released**: 10-13-2006

Is it worth the extra $100 a month.

I get opteron 246
4gb ram
2x73gb SCSI in raid 1

or

4x 73gb SCSI in raid 10 $100 more.

Raid 1 will mirror your disks. You'd have 73GB of storage, and then incase drive failure would happen you'd simply replace one of the drives, and you wouldnt loose much/any data.

Raid 10 is baiscally the same thing, though you need 4 drives it gives better fault tolerance and rebuild performance. and you'll have roughly 146GB of storage

See if they offer Raid 5 setup, get 3 disks and you'll get the 146GB of storage, and the security and backup capibilties still. And should be a little more cost effective

I'm actually looking at performance, raid 0 would be better then?

I don't need the space nor the backup.

If its simply performance then Raid 0 would be an alright choice. Though in the case of a drive failure you'd loose all data which would be no good at all.

Is there much speed difference between raid 0 and raid 10?

I am not really worried about hdd crashes as its a free hardware replacement and non important data.

I'd go with the raid 0 then and save the 100.

If you arent worried about the data, then try it without the raid and see how it performs and then hopefully you maybe able to add it later without to much hassel
