lab. server question
I have a PE2950 III with 4 146gb 15k sas drives. I am planning to run several vms for windows and linux. Would you do raid 10 or 5? Right now it is setup on 10, but im not sure if the 275gb is going to be enough. Maybe get 2 more drives? Yes, i have future plans for a NAS setup.
Thanks
Thanks

What hypervisor are you using? I would choose raid 5 over raid 10 because you don't loose as much space with raid 5 as you do with raid 10. -

Esxi 5.1. How much of a performance difference between raid 5 and 10? -

After further research i am going to stick with raid 10. I think it will work better in my situation.
