raid0 = 2 drives seen as one both have same information - redundant setup as backup for hard disk failure
pro: redundancy
con: takes twice the drive for half the size, $$$
raid1 = 2 drives seen as one big drive
pro: faster transfer rates
con: lose one drive lose all information
Raid0+1 = read both above and take both pro's
raid5 = replaces raid2,3, and 4
don't remember exactly what it does.

Raid 5 is Raid 0 + 1 with 1 hard drive that takes over if any of the other 4 drives fail. Very nice but very expensive card and usually SCSI. ;)
