Hello,

this is not a specific open-e/DSS question, but I think there are some people who can help ...

We evaluate a DSS with Areca Raid Controller ARC-1261 ML 16xSATA II. What's the better choice: 1x fat RAID6 (with 15 HDDs + 1 Hotspare) or 2x RAID5 (1x8 + 1x7 + 1 Hotspare).

Which config has better performance, better reliability, better rebuild time in case of failure?

thanx!

Lukas
