With a filer, the only option is RAID 4. Is there something in particular that would make RAID 4 a poor choice for this application?
When you say "faster, less secure", what aspect of operations are you looking at?
RAID 0. I know, I know, it sounds almost suicidal but as I said speed is more important in this instance than recovery. We'll be testing this 760 against an Auspex, which can be configured to use RAID 0, so I was wondering if the NetApps could also do this.
Its my feeling that testing this against the Auspex wouldn't be fair if NetApps is at RAID 4. We'll see if I'm wrong.
