It does depend on what you want to do with
the server. If there is a machine that is critical with littler or no down
time, then split the backplane using dual processors, one to be RAID 1 and the
other to be RAID 5. If it is mission critical with no down time, then RAID 10
would be appropriate.

Subject: [MSUNAG] PERC Card
Clarification
Does anybody have a strong opinion on the
benefits/differences to the following PERC cards, that can be ordered on DELL
Poweredge Servers?
We will be running RAID 5… and currently I was just
going to stick with the EMBEDDED perc, as I have done in the past….
I don’t see any real advantage to having the extra CARD???
1. Embedded PERC4ei
2. PERC4/DC card
3. On-Board RAID 5,
Thanks,
Chip
