[SunHELP] Fast Disk I/O

[ChrisBotha at CTNDDN]

Your best bet will be the T3.  You can connect 3 T3 Direct attacked arrays
via a PCI FC-AL adaptor (X6729A).  The T3 has an dedicated RAID 5 XOR parity
engine, which means that you achieve excellent performance with the
appropriate redundancy.

The arrays range are 163Gb, 327Gb, 660Gb.  It is populated with FC-AL disks.

Chris

Subject: [SunHELP] Fast Disk I/O


Hi all,

I did get some money to increase the disk I/O
on an 420R (4x450MHz,4GB Ram). The objective is
to write the 4GB of Ram in a few of seconds
to some harddisk configuration.

My questions:
What is the fastest disk interface I can get for
this 420R?
How many discs can I connect though this
without having the disk interface the bottleneck?
Do I need to use multiple interfaces?
Would you recommend the Veritas filesystem?
Any other thoughts are very welcome.

Thanks,
Wolfgang
