I would like to build a 12-15 TB RAID 5 data server to run under ContOS. Any recommendations as far as hardware, configuration, etc?
This comes up often:) Things to keep in mind when using large discs if you suffer a failure, while rebuilding in a degraded state it's not impossible or unlikely to drop another disc loosing it all.
Rebuild times especially on busy arrays with large discs take lots of time...
