 is SATA via 3ware RAID 10 too slow?
Thanks a ton for your response!
I have disabled processes as outlined in the performance tuning. I think that RedHat (and thus CentOS) report RAM usage a little differently than some distributions do, but at the end of the day swap is swap and swap is bad!
I'm going to try bumping the VPS's RAM to 2GB and see what effect that has. Fortunately the machine that the VPS is on isn't being used for anything else yet ;0)
On the final machine I was planning to use 3ware 9650 series SATA II RAID 1 or RAID 10. I just read that SATA is discouraged... but is SATA RAID 1 or 10 via 3ware discouraged too? The performance document doesn't really touch on this. |
