  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

The usable capacity of a RAID 5 array is (N-1) * \min(S_1, S_2, \dots, S_N) = (N-1) * S_{min}, where N is the total number of drives in the array, Si is the capacity of the ith drive, and Smin is the capacity of the smallest drive in the array.
Hmm, let me try to figure this out:

RAID 5 array is (N-1) * \min(S_1, S_2, \dots, S_N) = (N-1) * S_{min} = ELEVENTY


Is that right? :grin:
