Topic: Combination of HDD

[haliparotin]

hi! i just want to ask how can i Combine my HDD?

1TB + 1TB = 2TB
1TB + 1TB = 2TB

then the two 2TB HDD = Software Raid

Thank You..

How about RAID 5:

1TB + 1TB + 1TB + (1TB as Parity) = 3TB

RAID 5 should be the fastest and best for space+speed/cost

If you have an older hardware RAID controller which doesn't know RAID5 you could also do

RAID 0 for 3 HDD + 1 spare - it will work almost as 5

you are looking for raid10, a combination of raid0 (speed) and raid1 (redundancy)

SME doesn't support such a raid layout..
you could:
- use raid5 as suggested (not as fast if SW in my experience)
- add 2 small disks, install SME on them then use the 4 1TB to create a raid10 SW.. there are many howto out there

Actually i try the Raid 5 Under this link http://wiki.contribs.org/Raid but my Storage still appear 1 TB.
