November 21, 20178 yr I have a crazy idea that I want to do.... I have both a IBM M1015 and M5015. The M1015 is in IT Mode (JBOD) and is running in my 24Bay SuperMicro 4U Chassis (SAS Backplane) Connected with a single SFF-8087 Cable HDDs Installed 12 1TB SAS 7.2k 4 600GB SAS 10k 4 450GB SAS 15k 2 500GB SATA 1 600GB SATA 1 3TB SATA Now, I only have about 6TB of storage in use. But if I can avoid transferring data around, I would like to. I would like to put my M5015 back into good use and MAYBE do a silly hybrid RAID unRaid system. Now, my M5015 cannot do JBOD mode at all. I'm thinking of setting up 3TB Max RAID0 or 5 v-disks. Make the system a little bit quicker with some heavy hitting issues. Would also like to get MEGA-Raid working though it as well, but I've read that is quite hard to setup in Slackware. I do so that I have use the MEGA-Raid interface for predictive failure analysis. Which I currentrly cannot get working. Am I crazy?
November 21, 20178 yr Some people have put two drives in a RAID 0 for either parity or cache but otherwise I would not suggest mixing hardware RAID with unRAID.
November 21, 20178 yr one of my backup rigs has 3 1tb drives for parity set as raid 0. Also have cache drives setup as raid 10. seems to do ok. Edited November 21, 20178 yr by 1812
