Hi all, Sorry for the OT. I've got an IBM N3300-A10 NAS. It runs Data Ontap 7.2.5.1. The problem is, from the docs it says that it only supports either RAID-DP or RAID4. What I want to achieve is Max Storage Capacity, so I change it from RAID-DP to RAID4, but with RAID4, the maximum disk in a RAID Group decrease from 14 to 7. In the end, either using RAID-DP or RAID4, the capacity is the same. Now, why RAID5 is not supported? I believe using RAID5, I can get more storage capacity, can't I? I also notice with some onboard RAID controller, they only support either RAID0, RAID1, or RAID1+0. No RAID5. What's wrong with RAID5, is there any technical limitation with RAID5? Thanks.
