    SAN Server Build – Raid Configuration and Hard Drives Advice

    To make one thing clear. This is not a SAN. Quoting wikipedia: "A SAN typically has its own network of storage devices that are generally not accessible through the local area network (LAN) by other devices." I'd use the slow (5400rpm) drives for bulk storage, black/7200rpm drives for...
