Well is316js vs https://store.sansdigital-shop.com/ar212s.html

I got it two FiberRaid AR21F8e for $6243 with 12TB each when they had 50% off few months back
I am running raid 5 write 2200mb read 1800mb much better then is316js

I did look at is316js but cost was more and less storage space

I am end user just like you

Each one does 2200MB/s read speeds, or are they striped together? How are they connected and to what? Shouldn’t the total also include a Fibre Channel card?

[Sanrj Patil]

they striped together. Raid 5
1TB seagate constellation sata
Fiber card – emulex LP-12004 M8
much better route ( i can just put 3tb when i have budget)up tp 72TB

Mine is striped as a RAID 6. I didn’t pay as much as you. The box is IS 316JS is less than $3000. I’m also not hooked up fiber channel but duplex direct connect SAS to the server and 10GE to the clients.

i did not want to reinvest in 5 year so Fiber was my choice

i did talk to enhance technology about IS316JS and DS316F8-D they gave me $18000 with HD of 16 or 24TB somthing like that for dual controller and very less space

BASE UNIT
UltraStor DS DS316F8-D $10,879

This is what I am not getting. How do you “stripe”, or more correctly, connect two identical quad-channel units to a single quad-channel card?

Further, each one has its own controller, each would have its own RAID5 volume, unless you actually have a main and and a SAS expander unit – which is a wholly different animal from what you described originally.

[Sanrj Patil] “i did not want to reinvest in 5 year so Fiber was my choice”

This, too, is a strong statement suggesting SAS is a dead end. Care to back it up?

Ok here i go
i have two AR212F8 1TB x 12 x 2 units = 24Tb / 6 = 4 volumes of Raid 5

four RAID volumes (either RAID 0,5,6) using six hard drives per volume and then using Windows Disk Utility to striped the four volumes. The Fibre card we are using is a .4-port 8GB/s Emulex LPE12004-m8

Both AR212F8 single RAID controller
When you buy two units it becomes dual controller
So you take 2 out puts from each unit and plug in to 4-port 8GB/s Emulex LPE12004-m8

Hope this helps
If not here is sans phone

Sanrj,

You are comparing TWO 12-bay units that you paid more money for than the 16-bay unit Warren described, and saying your configuration is “much better”?

“Much better” how, exactly?

Maybe your configuration works for you, and this is the best purchase you ever made – for your purposes. Why walk into someone else’s thread and say that your stuff is “much better”? Especially that so far, there is little evidence to that?

Did you also not see that Warren’s setup is optimized for shared editing using 10GbE cards on client machines, something you haven’t even tried on your system?

Hi Warren,

What Hitachi HDD model did you buy? Was it the Ultrastar 7K3000?
How hey behave with the Areca 1882x?

Best regards
