'I need to build a document helping my wife convince her boss to bring outside people in to fix her IT issues. (I'm apparently not allowed to...)
Her current IT admin "upgraded" their 4x1G, 12x500G HP SAN to a 10GbE 3x6TB, RAID 5.
For 120 people. Exchange / Autocad / SQL, DC's. 6 sites.
Yup.
After questioned, he added 4x2TB in a RAID 10 just for the SQL stuff. Whoopie.
I've got the Dell Equalogic doc, of course the ZD link, some spiceworks links about RAID5 issues....
Does anyone have actual data / docs / or links that can show what a bad idea this is? (Outside of the speed/iops issue. Pure data integrity issue)
TIA
