I can choose: - RAID5 of three Maxtor Atlas 10K II 9gb - RAID1 of two Maxtro Atlas 10K III 18gb My problem is: I have seen that RAID1 code does not interleave reads so it does not improve performance very much putting two hard disks. Is there a patch to change raid1 behaviour? In linux 2.6.0 is it better? Thanks in advance for any reply. -- Mario Giammarco
