5400rpm vs 7200rpm use for Parity or Storage
Hi, I was lucky enough to pick up a Barracuda Pro 6TB for £115 and have also bought a Barracuda 6TB (non-pro)
The largest drive in my 48TB array is currently 3TB so I have to make one of them Parity
I have 10gbE network speeds so would benefit from the read speeds if I used the the pro as storage but am leaning on thinking that I would get better overal performance if I used the Pro for Parity? so I am interested in any opinions?
Many Thanks
Yes, for me, I wil 1st remove the most slowest disk ( or the oldest disk ) from array, no matter it is parity or data disk.
If all disk almost same speed or age, then I will consider place fastest disk in data disk instead of parity disk.
