Is it possible to gain a speed benefit of an SSD if you create a software RAID with a big SSD + two small HDDs?
At the moment I have a system with only two 320GB HDDs. And I thought about inserting a 640GB SSD in.
Maybe the SSD could be the main disk and it only syncs to the other two disks if there is idle time?
How could I create such a RAID on Debian?
Why not just use the SSD alone? – David Schwartz – 2013-10-22T06:16:57.503
It is an important webserver that needs to continue running if the SSD fails – rubo77 – 2013-10-22T06:17:46.217

@NilolaD: good point I don't know, why I thought about keeping the old drives at all, but I leave this question open for others who think about this. If you create an answer, I will vote that one – rubo77 – 2013-10-22T06:50:03.457
