I have a crazy idea that I want to do....

I have both a IBM M1015 and M5015. 

The M1015 is in IT Mode (JBOD) and is running in my 24Bay SuperMicro 4U Chassis (SAS Backplane)

Connected with a single SFF-8087 Cable

 

HDDs Installed

12 1TB SAS 7.2k

4 600GB SAS 10k

4 450GB SAS 15k

2 500GB SATA

1 600GB SATA

1 3TB SATA

 

Now, I only have about 6TB of storage in use. But if I can avoid transferring data around, I would like to.

 

I would like to put my M5015 back into good use and MAYBE do a silly hybrid RAID unRaid system.

Now, my M5015 cannot do JBOD mode at all. 

I'm thinking of setting up 3TB Max RAID0 or 5 v-disks. Make the system a little bit quicker with some heavy hitting issues.

 

Would also like to get MEGA-Raid working though it as well, but I've read that is quite hard to setup in Slackware. I do so that I have use the MEGA-Raid interface for predictive failure analysis. Which I currentrly cannot get working.

 

Am I crazy?
