[ovirt-users] Re: HC : JBOD or RAID5/6 for NVME SSD drives?

Personally I feel like raid on top of GlusterFS is too wasteful. It would give you a few advantages such as being able to replace a failed drive at raid level vs replacing bricks with Gluster. In my production HCI setup I have three Dell hosts each with two 2Tb SSDs in JBOD. I find this setup works well for me, but I have not yet run in to any drive failure scenarios. What Perc card do you have in the dell machines? Jbod is tough with most Perc cards, in many cases to do Jbod you have to fake it using individual raid 0 for each drive. Only some perc controllers allow true jbod passthrough.
