From http://wiki.directi.com/x/hQAa - This is a fairly detailed presentation I made at BarCamp Mumbai on building large storage networks and different SAN topologies. It covers fundamentals of selecting harddrives, RAID levels and performance of various storage architectures. This is Part I of a 3-part series.
