RAID software

Does anyone of you have experience using software RAID for Kafka
deployments? If yes, what kind of software are you using?

Thanks,
Riju

Thanks for your reply Jun. I was asking about the RAID software not the
RAID level. I am debating whether we should use the md thing [1] that comes
with Linux or  something like SF Basic [2].

Thanks,
Riju

Riju,

At LinkedIn, we use raid10 in our local storage for Kafka. It cuts
effective space by half, but has much better write performance than raid5,
which suffers from the read-then-write problem.

Thanks,

Jun
