        Hi Managers,

        We have a 4100 Alpha running D-UNIX 3.2.G, and we want to
        use a RAID option for the disk-drives.
        All the disks are now configured as JBOD devices.


        We thinking about the RAID-5 option for data disks, not
        the system-disk.

        What I have heart is that RAID-5 is slower than other RAID
        solutions, bud how much slower ?

        Are there engineers outside who have experience with the
        performance of RAID-5 ?



        Thanks Gert...
