Comment on New Amazon EC2 High Storage Instancesparent

Comments

I mean that no one ever would configure 24 disks as RAID-0 -- the probability of a data-loss failure (which may not be a problem from the data-loss side, but is from the process continuity side) becomes incredibly high. Best case most people would arrange it as RAID-10, instantly dropping the performance by half.

If the use case is to only use the instance for several hours or days for some intense processing, then RAID-0 over 24 disks is probably just fine.
