Hello,
For maths, i need to do an exploration to model a function. I have chosen to look at data transfer speeds, as the number of USB flash drives in a raid array increases.
Can anyone tell me what results I should expect, when I raid up to 10 (not raid 10) USB 2.0 Flash driives each with a 20mb read and 8 mb write speed.
I presume it will not be linear. My question is, which function will best represent it? Will it be some variation of log(x)??
I just want to make sure i know what results I should expect before spending hours setting up raid arrays.
Thanks guys.
BTW, all raid will be done in software (most likey on a hackintosh, as windows does not allow usb drives to be put in a raid array)
