Hi

I am going to install 5 x 72 GB SSA disks (10K RPM) in RAID 0 configuration
in a 7133 box. I have a SSA controller with onboard 128 MB SDRAM & 32 MB
FastWrite cache. Do I configure 1st RAID 0 set with 3 disks in loop A and
2nd RAID 0 set with 2 disks in loop B or do I configure these 5 SSA disks in
single RAID 0 array on loop A ? I am not bothered redundancy / fault
tolerance.

Your expert comments please ....

Thanks & regards
