I’m working on my disk array today. The plan is to take the data off of a 6-disk RAID-6 and put it onto three 4-disk RAID-4s.

RAID-4? Really? With the rapidly increasing size of drives (and corresponding increase in rebuild time) I’d be leaning towards RAID-6 by default.
Could you comment on why you are using RAID4?
Thanks,

Sure. My RAID array backplane doesn’t have a lot of power and works best when all drives in a single array are in the same row. There are four channels per row. Hence, RAID-4.
ignorance, as it turns out ;)
[…] systems or playing RAIDemon and gotta try them all, there is no valid use case for RAID 4. So doing so is a patently bad idea. RAID 5 is always the better option as you are not relying on a single disk […]
ok. I’m convinced.
