I run blue iris at work right now with 12 cameras on a HP dl380 g6 server with 4 2.5" 500GB sas drives in raid 5. With Blue Iris open it uses 80-90% cpu usage with dual X5570 so 8 cores 16 threads and 32Gb of ram and disc I/O is almost nothing.
I now have a spare HP dl380 g8 with dual e5-2470 so 16 core 32 thread with 48GB of ram. OS is on 2 Samsung 860 evo SSD in raid 1 and storage will be on 10 3TB sata drives.
Question is should i put the 10 3TB drives in raid 0 for speed or raid 6, im not to concerned of loosing data on the drives it would just be more of a hassle if a drive dies that i would have to rebuild the raid array and set BI back up to store to it.
Right now its only set to do pictures when the camera triggers, but with the larger storage i want to move to video so im not sure if the speed would be better with raid 0 or will it not matter and raid 6 will work just as well.
