For our immediate purposes, which do we want? Mirroring (safety) or
striping (performance)?
Safety safety safety safety!
Oh, and safety.
p.s. In any event, is it reasonble to suppose that I
need to do
something hardware wise to setup striping?
I suppose... did they give you any manuals with these things? :)
(Did I mention safety?)
The only thing about RAID mirroring with those drives is the size of
the database; we haven't yet run the old revision compression so the db
might not quite fit on 36 GB. Once that's done is ought to, though, if
everything's dumped out of the db and dumped back in to a fresh InnoDB
table space file.
