  Oh please. The dude's freaking out over a mild jab at his well-documented inconsistency. Didn't realize it was such a sensitive point.

  Anyway, @Fliphost - Don't bother with RAID1. That was the whole point of my initial comment. And with that, my part in this discussion is concluded.

  @Nick_A I appreciate the advice, I will definitely considering RAID 10 for it.

  @fliphost @shovenose

  The serverbear is lookin' good I second Nick's advice with raid 10. You want to have apples to apples going in late. Plus doing raid 10 is more cost effective on full nodes.

  Good luck!

  That's some pretty good disk i/o on RAID 1 though. Now that you're getting more people testing it, is it still high?
