Question:

Given only the original problem parameters, would you recommend upgrading to either RAID 0 or RAID 1 assuming individual disk parameters remain the same in the previous table?


For disks in the table in Exercise 6.18, assume that your vendor offers a RAID 0 configuration that will increase storage system throughput by 70% and a RAID 1 configuration that will drop AFR of disk pairs by 2. Assume that the cost of each solution is 1.6 times the original solution cost.

Exercise 6.18

Measurements and statistics provided by storage vendors must be carefully interpreted to gain meaningful predictions about their system behavior. The following  table provides data for various disk drives.a. b. # of Drives 1000 1250 Hours/Drive 10,512 8760 Hours/Failure 1,200,000 1,200,000
