Don,t know , thats why I,m asking. Never used raid.

[JBELL]

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.

[Hardass]

I think i understand.

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.

[Hardass]

I think i,ll try raid 1.

[DaGooch]

Cool! I use a 4 disk Raid 0 array.
