I agree, however the thing that cracks me up is the “cooperation” between slices in Intel Matrix Raid. For instance, copying a certain file from Slice to Slice takes much more longer time than it does in a non raid mode from one HDD to other HDD. You know what I am sayin’? Even copying from “slice” to USB flash drive is faster.
I remember first having two Caviar RE2 500gb in Intel Matrix Raid with slice no.1 – 100gb, and slice no. 2 – 900gb. Well If I had to move/copy files from no.1 to no. 2 or other way around it would take me forever, and that is the reason why I am thinking of having RAID 0 without no slices.
Data loss is not an issue. I have had raid 0 for years and never had any issues of data loss. Moreover I backup all of my important stuff.
