RAID-10 for Everything

create share — Mon, 01 Dec 2014 01:25:19 GMT

Hi!

If RAID-10 is the best for performance and fault tolerance then why should we create seperate RAID for Operating System like RAID-1 and seperate for Application, Database and Data like RAID-5 or RAID-10? Why not use only RAID-10 for all?

Any Comments?

Thanks.

Note:

Operating System Mirroring always have low priority as it can be installed from scratch..but Data and application should have high priority in all setup.

There's no reason you shouldn't, anything about having to use separate RAID arrays is becoming less and less relevant.

The common reason is because RAID10 is more wasteful than RAID5 and often one RAID5 array performs fine for most user's needs.
