RAID baseado em ICH10R vs Windows 7 RAID de software

Question

Parece que o desempenho dessas soluções é praticamente o mesmo e essa não é minha principal preocupação, mas preciso saber como elas se comparam ao ponto de os dados serem corrompidos? Quais são as chances de obter uma mensagem de matriz corrompida e as maneiras de recuperar a matriz? Duas unidades de modelo / tamanho idênticas serão usadas para esta matriz RAID.

    

Answer 1

Hardware vs Software Recovery

My personal experience - recovering from software RAID is easy. However, sometime finding out exact hardware RAID requirements can be a nightmare. A good backup can save from RAID hardware incompatibility problems. Software RAID allows you to mix different drive and sizes. You can not do something like this with hardware RAID cards. With software RAID you can swap the drives to a different server and read the data. There is no vendor lock in with software RAID solution.

Cons of Hardware RAID Proprietary – Minimal or complete lack of detailed hardware and software specifications.

On-Disk meta data can make it near impossible to recover data without a compatible RAID card – If your controller goes casters-up you’ll have to find a compatible model to replace it with, your disks won’t be useful without the controller. This is especially bad if working with a discontinued model that has failed after years of operation
