Top Document: comp.arch.storage FAQ 1/2 Previous Document: [10.1] DataVast (was VastNSS) See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge From: RAOT (Redundant Arrays of Other Things :-) Pinnacle Micro has been advertising what they call the Orray -- essentially RAID done with removable magneto-optical disk drives. They claim sustained transfer rates up to 8 MB/sec., which seems implausible given that it's only four drives, and even HP MO drives are below 2 MB/sec. sustained. Apparently no redundancy in the system for that configuration (so I guess my ROAT designator is a misnomer), but it should be generally less necessary for MO than magnetic disk (drive failures normally don't result in the destruction of data or media). --rdv, 94/7/20 User Contributions:Top Document: comp.arch.storage FAQ 1/2 Previous Document: [10.1] DataVast (was VastNSS) Part1 - Part2 - Single Page [ Usenet FAQs | Web FAQs | Documents | RFC Index ] Send corrections/additions to the FAQ Maintainer: rdv@alumni.caltech.edu
