So I've been wanting to start replacing my old first-gen RAID Edition 250GB drives with 300GB VelociRaptors.. however, with the prices of larger SSDs dropping, I'm thinking I should just go that route.
I currently have the drives in a RAID10-style setup (stripe over two mirrors). I was planning on doing the same with the VRs, but with how blazing fast SSDs are (and $/GB still a bit high), I think I'd rather go with a RAIDZ1 setup.
I'm thinking like 4x 128GB drives. Anyone try this? Would access times and random performance still stomp 4 VR's in a RAID10?
Usage is VM storage. Nothing database-like.
