Summary
Ever been confused about the difference between IOPS and throughput? Why 
the pundits are saying "RAID5 is dead"? Or how various RAID topologies 
work? Come to the TriLUG meeting August 9th, and Jim Salter will cover 
performance, redundancy, and storage efficiency for all sorts of storage 
topologies, along with how you'd measure them and why you'd care. We'll 
start out simple with a single disk, then move onwards and upwards through 
traditional RAID configurations, and then move on to ZFS and btrfs. Wear 
your nerd hat, and if you have questions, be ready to ask 'em.

Bio
Jim Salter (@jrssnet) is an author, mercenary sysadmin, and father of 
three—not necessarily in that order. He got his first real taste of open 
source by running Apache on his very own dedicated FreeBSD 3.1 server 
back in 1999, and he's been a fierce advocate of FOSS ever since. He's 
the author of the Sanoid hyperconverged infrastructure project. He 
writes for Ars Technica on everything from NAS distribution tools to 
next-gen filesystems to Wi-Fi, and reviews Wi-Fi mesh, routers, and 
other devices for the Wirecutter.
