Re: Mixing drive speeds in array for Proliant 6000
On the other hand, if you had U160 drives that were 7.2k and U320 drives that were 10k, all the drives should operate at U160 speeds, but again... the rotational speed should not make any difference.
The performance would still be bast on how fast the 7200 drives can go and the 10k drives would have no problem keeping up.
Someone PLEASE correct me if I am wrong. (or let us know if I am right)

Re: Mixing drive speeds in array for Proliant 6000
Okay, two conflicting answers...
I could assign all the 10k drives to one SCSI bus and create a seperate logical drive from all the 7.2k drives, but that sort of defeats my intended purpose of having ONE RAID 5 drive utilising ALL drives.
Can anyone give me a definitive answer?
Thanks,
Bruce

Re: Mixing drive speeds in array for Proliant 6000
in a raid config allways use drives that are the same at any time.
it works better and it keeps your drives alive for a long time
