RIAD what's it really mean?

[Flucky]

I want to use raid 0+1, but the choices don’t say that they say this in the book.

 

• Selecting the RAID Mode

By default, this is set to Mirroring. To change to a different RAID

arrow key until the mode that you want appears in the RAID

Mirroring, Striping, Spanning, Stripe Mirroring or RAID 5.

Note: Not all RAID levels are supported on all platforms.

 

I think it breaks down like this but does anybody really know?

I would like to know what I build for sure.

 

Here is what I think they mean, does anybody know for sure.

 

RAID Types

Mirroring = Raid 0

Striping = Raid 1

Spanning = wtf not a clue

Stripe Mirroring = 0+1

RAID 5 = RAID 5

[CPDMF]

mirroring = RAID1

striping = RAID0

spanning = all disks in array show up as one large disk

 

stripe-mirroring RAID 0 + 1 (need 4 drives for this)

CPDMF thanks, But damn... wounder how much slower just using raid 1 will be over 0... be nice to have back up, but dont want to lose performance

[CPDMF]

Read speeds will be close to a RAID0 array, write speeds will be single drive speeds.

 

Only other option I can suggest is using a disk image program. I use acronis true image.

hmmm... I am going raid 0 wtheck... might be fun see how fast I get this thing... thanks for your help:)

I found this on the net for anyone else whos looking

A quick summary of the most commonly used RAID levels:

 

RAID 0: Striped Set

RAID 1: Mirrored Set

RAID 0+1: Striped Set + Mirrored Set (4 disk minimum)

RAID 5: Striped Set with Distributed Parity
