Vinn Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 Total n00b on raid so here's my querstion. What's the advantage of having 2 HITACHI Deskstar 80gb on a Raid 0 setup? What's the differance if I just install them apart? Cause 1 arrived on time and somehow the other one got routed to the wrong city and it's gonna arrive next week so I was wondering should I wait before I setup my rig. Thx for any info Vinn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoKi_09 Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 Ive seen quite a bit on how much of a pain it is to get it to work and the risk factor associated with it (one HD dies, lose ALL files). Honestly it scared me away from even considering it. Is it really all that bad? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
