6 of one/ half a dozen of the other.
Is there a huge performance difference between the two configurations?
If not, the Raid 5 gives you more usable storage for growth and, if
the
windows environment supports it, you could reserve one as a 'hot
spare'
for better availability.

Hi,

I got a new disk enclosure, singe bus, and 14 ultra320 300GB disks
(HPProliant) to my w2k3 TSM server. I dont need all gigabytes, at
maximum I
backup 750Gb per day which includes weekly TDP backups. Normally the
amount
of data is 150Gb. Today I have one archive- 150Gb, backup- 600Gb,
directory- 10Gb and collo-file-pool 100Gb.

My question is,  what might be the best disk configuration of 4 disk
storagepools? One raid5 with 14 disks and one volume i Windows.. or 7
raid1
or your suggestions.
