Evaluating RAID in the real world

Conference ·
OSTI ID:756829
High energy nuclear physics experiments at Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (''Jefferson Lab'') will have a data collection rate of 10 MB/second, generating 1 Terabyte (TB) of raw data per day of accelerator running, and a similar amount after processing. The requirement for on-line disk storage for raw and reduced data sets will exceed 1 TB during 1998. This paper discusses the on-line storage strategy that provides both high performance as well as high capacity, and focuses on the in-house evaluation of RAID (Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks) systems to fulfill the needs of both data acquisition and analysis.
