Good luck so far using EBS for MySQL, logs etc. I/O costs not significant yet. You can Raid EBS devices btw.

- MichaelApproved 17y agoDoesn't Amazon already RAID the storage they offer you? Is drive failure something I need to worry about? I thought they had a beefy RAID system already in place.
- dryicerx 17y agoThey do, but I think he's talking about doing a raid0 just to leech more io, not safety.
- MichaelApproved 17y agoI see now with all the comments that everyone is referring to getting more platters spinning the data.
- rykov 17y agoRAID helps if disk is the bottleneck. If it's the network (EBS is network attached), then you're SOL and should probably try a bigger instance instead and hope fewer people share that physical host.
- grourk 17y agoIf you enable striping (RAID0) for performance, how do you manage snapshots and backups? Seems like there would be consistency issues re-building the array from multiple snapshots.
