Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.misc -> big drives (36 gig ) and Oracle performance
I was told by our sys admins that they're starting to buy 36 gig drives
so that they can cut costs on our sp frames. Because of our space
requirements and the current 9 gig drives are taking up too much space,
they're going to replace them with 36 gig drives.
I see a couple of big issues, but I'd like to hear some other opinions.
1.) each drive will hold 4 times the data, but my past experience has
taught me that I won't get 4 times the performance
2.) the nodes (S7A) are used for multiple instances, if a drive does go
down, it will affect all instances using that drive
Question:
Have others gone to these sized drives?
How are you utilizing them?
What other concerns should I be looking at?
What tips do you have?
Thanks,
Steve
