I’ve been telling our reluctant PO’s that their job is the hardest in scrum and that the just-in-time writing of stories is not the right approach and that their job needs to have a full time dedication to all things PO (they tend to try and take on a lot of account manager responsibilities). This depiction shows clearly all the touch points they have and everything they should be doing every day.

I’m sure others will find it of use too, will RT on our channels.

]]> Comment on Raid stripe size – what does it mean and what is the optimal stripe size? by Rob Corelli http://jonstechbits.com/2008/03/24/raid-stripe-size-what-does-it-mean-and-what-is-the-optimal-stripe-size/#comment-103 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 18:58:04 +0000 http://jonstechbits.wordpress.com/?p=9#comment-103 I have a PC with two 1 TB SATA hard drives. I would like to add a 2TB eSATA drive and perriodically make a bootable backup copy of my entire system. I have an Intel Desktop/Workstation/Server Express Chipset SATA RAID Controller. Can this cope with what I want to do?

I absolutely agree with you.
I am setting up my second RAID matrix this month.
I’ve build quite cheap set-up for about £40
I got 4 SEAGATE Barracuda 7200 80Gb HD Drives for £30 after few minutes of scanning local computer fair, I also got a 2x SATA PCI RAID Controller Card for £7.50.
I’ve spend last couple of days trying to set up a correct configuration as quick as possible.
I have set C: with windows installation on first 2 HDD connected in RAID 0 (Data Stripping for Performance), then the third disk 40GB for Paging File, and lastly one 40Gb HDD for System Backup (scheduled each night) – also I have external 500Gb USB 2.0 HDD set up as my Documents Folder for Work-In-Progress files.
I have tested the entire computer system with PassMark Performance Test and the entire PC was getting Score of 341 each time.

With the RAID 0 and Block size set to 4Kb:
This PC Score for HDD – 316.0
With the RAID 0 and Block size set to 16Kb:
This PC Score for HDD – 482.1
With the RAID 0 and Block size set to 64Kb:
This PC Score for HDD – 488.8

The card setting for minimal block size was 4Kb ranging to 64Kb.

I hope this was useful to someone as I could not find answer to this question anywhere else.

Comments on correctness of such set-up are welcomed as I am unexperienced user.

Many thanks

put the swap file on the second partition at the end of disk is not the best choice, because the heads of hard disk need to move a lot of more.
Better to use a second disk for swap ;)

A lot of people forget there is mecanical component in hard disk. An application server+sql server works faster on 2 independant disk than on RAID 0 disk (of course now all people use SSD for database ;) )
