hi,<br />
<br />
I have been asked to build a server with raid 5 that has two hot spares.<br />
<br />
Heres the setup.<br />
<br />
8 * 136.72GB hard drives.<br />
<br />
Now here's the question. this comes to 1093.76, now in raid 5 mode it actually comes to 957.04GB. the 957.04GB does this include a hot spare, or is it just for parity?<br />
<br />
If i create a hot spare then i only get 820.32GB, so two hot spares would be even lower.<br />
<br />
I've looked at the array manager and there are no hot spares listed.<br />
<br />
As you can see i'm not really upto speed with raid 5.<br />
<br />
thanks for the help.
