With the data transfer speeds of the 3+ GB SATA, even a single SATA
drive can keep up with HD video recording using a BlackMagic
converter. But, even 2 Tb will fill up -fast- with HD video. :)
I've not tried compression in real time to see if it works. So even
in software, raid 0 is working ok but if the same hardware
controller can do both simultaneously, I might as well; else just
get 2 controllers as the raid sets are in different machines.<br>
<br>
Maybe it is not raid 5 for mirroring, but I thought it was. Of
course, pot ruined my memory back in 1968... Anyway, mirroring is
what I want.<br>
<br>
In Linux, I use the everyday mdadm for mirroring, without LVM. Oh
yeah, Ubuntu, Fedora, and Debian. Got real tired of Suse long ago.
I miss Slackware. :) (now RedHat I think.)<br>
<br>
<br>
Aside but related: I'm strongly considering a mirrored network disk
array. Maybe mirror two of the new 6TB drives. Maybe one of the
Linux machines (with the newer mobo w/6Gb/second data rates) could
host the network array. (VideoMonster will still have the striped
disks internally but I wouldn't mind having it able to access a
central disk system at the same time.)<br>

<div>This is the solution I would focus on first, how much
speed do you need? Are you just reading the data @ X per
second to keep up with a stream or are you editing/writing
video.<br>

<div>Raid 5 is not for mirroring. You need more then two
disks. But you should be using Raid 5 for redundancy. <br>
