Picking a Linux Software RAID
Need to have the filesystem on the raid have transparent compression to speed up writes, or just deal with the write hit.

Raid Array died this morning (Update: repaired)
I have a Venus T5C array, that decided to not power up after a UPS reset. 7.5 TB i have to figure out how to recover. The drives aren’t dead I think, but the entire unit will not power up. It’s attached to an APC UPS, but that unit had an alarm and I had to power cycle it when we had a power outage.
It was made by American Media.

If I have to I will buy another, but I’ve contacted AMS tech support to see if there is a newer raid array that can see the drives as they are. I can get one of these from Amazon, but we are talking $230 bucks.
UPDATE: 2/10/2013
The new unit came in, I transferred the drives, left the dip switches to all off for autodetect, and the array came back up with no data lost to the best of my knowledge.
