XRAID striping with Kona LH
In the LH installation guide, it mentions striping to Raid 50 on an XRAID, which would create one drive.
Is this necessary for all resolutions? Can I get by with 2 Raid 5 drives for SD 10bit to get started?
I can’t move my media just yet to restripe.
ThanksDave

2 separate xRaid – Raid 5 volumes will be fine for your SD work, raid 50 offers a little more protection.

RAID 50 means you would use the 2 RAID 5 units stripped together, with software, into a single RAID 0.
This gives you the added performance needed for uncompressed HD.
The individual RAID 5 units will work ok for SD until they get close to full.
