I finally got myself a fractal design define XL and 4x icydock bays for sas drives and 16x 2.5"m 600K seagate drives. another 15 more drives on the way. I am planning to have 16x sas on my areca 1882ix-16 and stripe 15 of em on raid5 inside centOS7.2 for use with flame.
Will it be ok? I have heard clashing info that raid 5 only works best for 8 drives max and anything more will throw the performance away. Will there be anything I need to keep in mind? I am hoping for a 2000MB/sec rw speed. anything that would stop me from getting it in your understanding of drives/raid/OS ??
thanks in advance
