Nice offer.
Another nice offer from @Drserver
This is indeed an amazing offer.
It seems to be amazing offer just bandwidth is a bit low, that should be at least its double.
bandwidth is fine. it is supposed to be a storage VPS after all..
Why not use raid 5 or raid 50? low write speed and disk waste with raid6
Better data protection sounds more important than higher write speed.
@rds100 said:
Raid 1 provide best data protection, thanks. Drserver just want to balance the roi and data safe IMO.
Not really. With RAID6 you can have two dead disks and still the data is OK. With RAID1 you can't do this.
Do not argue this, search wiki definition pls
He probably knows more about RAID than you do by far.
A RAID6 of 5 HDDs (less makes no sense) uses 2 parity disks (yes yes i know it's striped parity but for the sake of understanding) and can take 2 disk failures - Available capacity is 3x (3+2).
A RAID1 of 4 HDDs (2 is generally too small) uses 2 mirror disks and can take 2 fails - Available capacity is 2x (2+2).
RAID6/60 is more economical at more disks, scales larger and the loss of performance with HDDs and modern controllers is negligible.
I thought RAID1 will only have 1x capacity, where other disks will be mirrors. Hence his statement that the mirrors can fail as long as at least 1 disk is functional (at the expense of lower capacity).
i don't think anyone runs a 4 way (well 3+1) mirror, what i described can be done in HP controllers at least (as well as normal RAID10)
EDIT: capacity of 5 in RAID6 is x3 of course, my failure
That's true. Capacity is still 1x and more drives are not used for more space.
There are some raid calculators on the internet, use it

It's OK, you are RAID protected.
You probably can't read or you are just unable to understand how RAID works...
I would say the same, don't argue this and please read the wiki of this topic.
Be friendly and don't be rude. Sigh...
AM I wrong?since you are chinese 90s boy( my.zol.com.cn/duyan13)
I think you should understand how it defines in chinese (http://zh.wikipedia.org/zh/RAID)
Random 2 of disks in same array can be failed in raid 6.
Raid 1 can be tolerant of more in same array as long as all do not be failed in different arrays.
Now you are being racist about chinese ? Oh my holy cow.
Read the previous posts. You moron.
Heh, I nearly spat my coffee out, go you!
2b,you should go to mjj c boss forum
go you？chinglish？why not say f*** U？ LMAO
If I had even the slightest clue what you just said I would, thanks, or do it, or whatever you just said.
Please stop immediately, you are not making anyone look any better or worse except for yourself.
You should learn to speak English properly before accusing other people of speaking "Chinglish" (or however you refer to it). This isn't some 8 year old's Minecraft forum, we don't speak "Moronese".
My asshole detector took me to this thread. Icecream anyone?
That's why I couldn't understand anyone. Makes so much sense! Must be why I can't understand Youtube comments anymore.

Oh man this made me laugh so hard, but then you managed to one up yourself:
You heard it here first guys, RAID calculations are different in Chinese.
Lol
Origin is Twitch.tv chat afaik, still fun Kappa
nice offer indeed...
@drserver : do you plan to offer something similar in EU later on?
