Hi there, hope you can help us with some advice!
We are migrating our Magento installation (eCommerce) from VPS to dedicated server and hoping for some advice when it comes to the RAID setup and which HD types to use. We have received some advices that we should run database on SSD drives and the rest on SAS disks.
8x 2.5” drive bays available, which HD type/configuration?
RAID supported: 0, 1, 1+0, 5, 5+0, 6, which RAID setup?
Here are some suggestions to RAID setup and disk types that we have received so far:
2x SSD RAID 1 / 120GB (Intel® SSD 530 Series 120GB 2.5")
6x SAS RAID 10 / 10K 450GB
2x SSD RAID 1 / 120GB (Intel® SSD 530 Series 120GB 2.5")
6x SAS RAID 10 / 15K 146GB (Ideally I would like 300GB 15K, but they are really expensive)
4x SSD RAID 10 / 120GB (Intel® SSD 530 Series 120GB 2.5” Serial ATA-600)
4x SAS RAID 10 / 10K 450GB
Our server:
Processor(S) 2x Intel Xeon X5670 (2.93GHz/6-core/12MB/95W) Processor Kit
Memory 48GB
Hard Drives NO HDD
Drive Bays 8x 2.5” SFF DRIVE BAYS AVALIABLE
Raid HP Smart Array P410I CONTROLLER
Graphics INTEGRATED ATI ES1000, 32MB
Optical Drive(s) DVD Rom
Power Supply(s) DUAL POWER SUPPLY
Rail kit Rail kit Included
Features List DVD, Intel GB NIC, USB
Our Magento installation
Magento 1.8.1.0
mySQL Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.28, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 6.2
Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-34-generic x86_64)
Nginx

PHP 5.4
var/cache and var/session on ramdisk
We would also use Varnish, memcached /APC, but we are still in developer mode. We appreciate all replies.
