What is the best array for installing server OS or DATA partition, RAID 1 or RAID 5?
Greetings,
My question is as follows. Is there a "better" choice for installing the server OS? I know some people recommend installing the SERVER OS in a RAID 1 DISK and the data in a different RAID 1 or a RAID 5 array. But is it just as well if you simply create a single RAID 5 array and install OS and DATA there (in different partitions though...)
I would like to know what is the general consensus for different types of server installations...
