RAID question
What is the advantage of RAID vs. a single drive where both have the
same mb's? RAID 0 striping uses two or more drives to boost performance. Data is spanned acrossed the drives and all data is lost should one drive have problems. You are able to use the full capacity of each drive as long as they are the same size. RAID 1 mirroring keeps an identical copy of one drive using another. You only have access to the main drive. --- Kevin Chalker, Owner (KC COMPUTERS) E-mail: Web: www.kc-computers.com Internet dealer since 1991!!! See WWW.RESELLERRATINGS.COM!!! |

RAID question
also remember each method takes a certain number of drives to impliment it.
This can be a concern depending on how many drives your system supports and how many drives your case can hold. RAID 0 uses as many HD's as you want. the more, the faster, the riskier. RAID 1 uses 2 drives (typically) with a ending capacity of 1 drive (but safer of course) RAID 1\0 Uses a minimum of 4 drives. RAID 5 Takes a minimum of 3 drives but can be as many as you want.
