IntroductionStorage is one of those things that we can never get enough of, both in capacity and in performance. This article is going to compare a large set of RAID performance data and perhaps ...

We are back on the subject of Solid State Disk drives again and this time you're in for a real treat! This will be an adventure into extreme high-end storage with massive amounts of performance on tap ...

Tuning Raid performance has the air of a black art to storage administrators, with the perception that it can do more harm than good. Most consider the job done once the Raid level is selected. But, ...

I'm putting together a storage array. I've got 3x250GB SATA disks, and can get my hands on a 4th one. I need to put in adapter card(s) to connect the drives since the mobo in question does not have ...

Has anyone actually done any benchmarks to compare performance? I've done some google searching and couldn't find anything concrete, just a lot of anecdotes and premature conclusions. There's not ...

We've looked at the Corsair Performance 3 in both 256GB and 128GB sizes and in both cases found that the new Marvell 88SS9174-BKK2 controller offers the best garbage collection system we've ever seen.

RAID is a common method for protecting application data on HDDs and solid-state storage, with different types of RAID balancing the level of protection and performance against the cost. The greater ...

To provision storage for a workload, IT pros must choose the right storage architecture. This decision might come down to choosing between RAID 5 vs. RAID 6. Neither RAID 5 nor RAID 6 is clearly ...

In the late 1980s, processing power and memory performance were increasing by more than 40% each year. However, due to mechanical limitations, hard drive performance was not able to keep up. To ...

In terms of raw price/performance, RAID 0 has the lowest cost. All disk space is used to store data; none is used for mirroring or parity data. Performance is good in terms of I/O, as data is striped ...
