We are considering an Alpha 2000 server and are considering RAID 5.
(looking at DU not VMS)


My question is: what it the formula used to caculate the needed amout
disk space to have X amount of space under RAID 5?

Ex: I want 10 GIGs of disk space under RAID 5. How many GIGs do I need to
buy?


Also, Any problems having the controller implement the RAID and putting
the ADVFS on top of it?
