We have the following storage servers in our environment:
Type1: Xeon with RAM etc. and Areca 1680 with 16 x 300GB SAS 15k
Type2: Xeon with RAM etc. and Areca 1680 with 16 x 1TB SATA 5.4-7.2k (green)
We are running Raid 6 with NO hot spare and have 1/16th better
performance and 1/16 more capacity than with hot spare.
We have several disks of each type in our stock and we can react
within 10 Minutes in case of a failure.
Our rebuild times are on SAS around 12 hours and on SATA between 36 and 50 hours.
