Re: RE: [Nolug] NAS

Huh? Isn't raid5 supposed to be faster than raid1? It uses striping.

 Hi Shane.

For small applications, consider Raid 1. It’s cheaper, only two drives,
even though the cost per byte is higher. It’s also faster than Raid 5.

I have to agree. For a high availability enviroment server then yes raid 5
is way to slow. But for me just as a home file server raid 5 is way more
economical than getting 4 drives and 2/3 the capacity with a raid 10.
