Hi ...,<br><br>We were trying to define our storage spec for Gluster and was wondering which would be better purely from a performance perspective.<br><br>1. Use a simple 24 Disk JBOD with SAS Controller and export each hard disk as an individual volume<br>
<br>OR<br><br>2. Use the 24 Disk JBOD with Flash Based Cache enabled RAID Controller, <br> create 12 <b>RAID 0</b> Arrays of 2 Disks each, <br> and take advantage of the caching, especially for writing.<br><br>Wanted to know which would be faster, <br>
<br>accessing 24 Disks directly<br>OR<br>12 Logical Disks with a Cache support.<br><br>Just FYI, we will be creating a 'Striped Replicated' Volume for H/A.<br><br>Would appreciate any views or insights you could provide on this.<br>
<br>Thanks and Regards,<br><br><br>Indivar Nair<br>
