I've seen a couple of sites mentioned for training in the IT field.
I probably missed a ton though. What others are worth looking at?

This is the list so far (in alphabetical order):

• linuxacademy.com
• pluralsight.com
• udemy.com

Udemy is pretty good...they run sales often (if they are really "sales") and most of the purchased courses I've taken have been very good.

I like that you own the class for life. Some other places strictly use subscription model, and if you do not use for a couple months, it costs you money. With Udemy you can go back anytime and view your course with no out of pocket expense once purchased.

Might have to look at them- I have used PluralSight before though

As you stated- if the drives are all on the same RAID card, the backplane should allow for almost any pairing..

In theory.

I almost popped in here to ban/delete this. But, I read the thread...

In some humor- maybe I should have deleted all the cleaning service threads-

That’s a joke son-

Well, where are you going and where are you starting? What is past that router?

Are YOU a Comcast customer? Are you one their network?

I suppose you could use Storage Spaces Direct (all windows across the entire thing) but I wouldn't consider SSD at all mature nor production ready, especially at this scale.

Thanks, had not heard of this.

Reading the documentation for gluster, there is nothing particularly difficult to understand here. Since RAIN is what you're going to be using, might be worth reading. https://docs.gluster.org/en/latest/Quick-Start-Guide/Quickstart/

Doesn’t meet the requested OS-
They only want Windows.

RAIN over RAID

This is likely the answer. I found this: Drath of RAID and am reading it.

I don’t see many diagrams on it, or much on it really- maybe I’m not searching the right term(s).

As RAID arrays get large, you have to move more and more towards RAID 10. Using roughly the largest drives available broadly on the market (12TB), a single petabyte would be 180 drives in a single RAID array. This is way, way larger than is practical to have in a single array from both a spindle count, and a storage volume number.

Considering the 16TB is so new - I wouldn't recommend them.

I need to go back and re-re-read the IPOD of yours.....

has anyone used Free RAID Calculator before?

Problems with it include....

The parts that it gets right are insanely simple and can be done in your head faster than you can type the details in. The other parts are just wrong. The performance part is wrong, as is the risk part. The only part it gets right is the capacity.

good thing I am ignoring that aspect. for any type of performance, I would go with a full hybrid system.
