My bad - is 4 minutes too long for you to wait for someone to give you the attention you crave? Did you feel anxiety rising to form a pit in your stomach as your cold, sweaty palms eagerly sat above the F5 key awaiting my response?

Believe it or not, I feel ashamed for even having replied THAT quickly to you.

yeah, someone is clEARly obsessed with all of the attention he's getting from these forums. i guess there's no such thing as bad attention when you're used to getting no attention.

Samoht, surely you understand chronology? No? Guess I put too much confidence in you being the smartest of my obsessed crowd. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

And this is what we call a positive feedback loop. Stop being mean to Clear.

If you only have three drives available and you need at least some level of redundancy, RAID 5 is the way to go. With how inexpensive disks have become, it is a bit more logical to add at least one more drive and go RAID 10. But sometimes you only have 3 drives.

Just saying.

well it depends on a few more factors than just number of drives. software raid or hardware controller? what kind of uptime do you need? what is the size of the raid?

if you're actually limited to 3 drives, nowadays you could realistically put the drives into a raid 0 and back up to cloud/colo and not give a crap. you'd still have redundancy, but you'd be working off of remote copies for a few hours if you lost your local.

and raid6 is the answer for 4 drives. it's same drive count as a raid5 with a hotspare. same capacity, too, with better read performance, but sometimes worse write performance if you're running software raid or have bad cache/controller. you'd have the redundancy for two concurrent failures, something a raid10 or a raid5 with a hotspare can't guarantee.
