Don’t do that, we all know you do have experience running a gaming server. Make your point about why it is better to do it your way, “Stop being a negative nancy”.
They very well know why a stripe set will see better performance than a mirroring set. Because at this very minute they aren’t seeing disk problems, it means the countless hours I spent watching system monitor don’t mean anything. I wouldn’t have brought it up if I didn’t know what I was talking about. I’m not inventing problems. Yes there are no HDD problems right this very minute. We are also in a RAID5 setup. When the VMs were there, there were major I/O problems. No there will not be VMs on the new box, but at the same time I doubt you’re buying it to run the same 5 servers we have now. I would imagine we would be opening up 2nd 1.6 and CSS servers to meet population demands. These additional servers require more I/O. We are already moving to a slower disk set…why make it even worse when it’s been a problem in the past.
