I'm going to rebuild my system at home soon, and was planning to mirror two drives. However, I was just looking up something about RAID, and on wikipedia found some information about the Linux MD driver, and "near" and "far" RAID10.
Anyone have some opinions about them?
mark "or should that be how many opinions do folks have about them?"Raid 10 is a mirrored stripped set of at least 4 driver. You get the best of both worlds, data speed and data back up..
I'm well aware of that. However, I'm only buying two drives, and was going to just mirror them, but if I can get more speed.... This is what I'm reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-standard_RAID_levels#Linux_MD_RAID_10, and it seems to be a non-standard RAID, with several options, and the first uses only two drives.
