ARandomOWL Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 U would have to format both drives b4 setting up RAID. Which means u would lose the data off both of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 I know it's a bit late but the RAID 0 description is a bit off. RAID 0 doesn't improve access times it increases throughput on large files. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verran Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Original post updated with info on RAID-6 and RAID-10. Please feel free to comment on new or old information if you have suggestions. I know it's a bit late but the RAID 0 description is a bit off. RAID 0 doesn't improve access times it increases throughput on large files. Updated the RAID-0 description to clarify the benefits to read/write throughput as opposed to access times. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boinker Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) I do not have a reply or a comment. I just want to plus one for verran, occ members, staff, and everyone who participated. this is not only a great guide but if you look around there is a monument of excellent guides to be hold here. +1 to all of you.

Azash Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 When you have a RAID 1 setup and you partition your disc, does the mirror have the same parition or is it not paritioned at all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 (edited) When you have a RAID 1 setup and you partition your disc, does the mirror have the same parition or is it not paritioned at all? Kinda sorta. The RAID may or may not write RAID-specific data to the disks. If it does, you can't just pull a disk out of the RAID and boot it up in another machine (unless that machine has a matching RAID controller). If it doesn't you may be able to boot the second (or third, etc) disk in the RAID 1 array on another machine. Does that answer the question? EDIT: It may be worth noting that with a good RAID controller RAID 1 can actually increase read speeds significantly if it's intelligent about how it splits up the read requests.

Azash Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Not quite what I was asking. I mean if I partitioned like 20gigs for my OS and 60gigs for data, would both drives be partitioned as such or would the main one be partitioned and the mirror not be?

ebarone Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 Almost 2 months late, but maybe this will help someone else. AFAIK, the short answer is yes. My RAID controller works in disks, not partitions, where RAID1 Array = Disk 1 + Disk 2... not Partition X on Disk 1 and Partition Y on Disk 2. It mirrors the entire disk, including partition table and MBR. HOWEVER... I have used software raid controllers in Linux, and I'm sure there are Windows ones too (W7 has it built in) that will mirror only a partition, not the whole disk. So if you want the whole shebang mirrored, use a hardware-based raid controller and you *should* be okay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedCrazy Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 Old thread i know but if you have say, a raid 5 set up and one drive fails how do you reconstuct the data? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebarone Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 Do you mean how does the RAID controller do it (by using a parity bit like this), or whats the end-user procedure to doing it? I would imagine its similar to reconstructing a RAID 1 array on your end, just drop the drive in, load your RAID BIOS, and find the reconstruct option.

RobbanSWE Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) Basic Raid0 With 5 ssd sata2 on Asus p8p67 pro motherboard The speed is fantastic over 1210mb\s It work with 6 SSD in raid 0 for more extreme speeds up to 1400mb\S with the onboard sata chip i got a new batterybackup write cache of 512mb ,hardware raidkontroller with 8 of 300mb\s lanes that gives me around 2gb\s,, but 1600-1800mb\s would be more acurat Can add pictures and info later of the controllersystem when it finisch Edited March 1, 2011 by RobbanSWE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
