CNUco2007 Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 What exactly is the point of putting your hard drives in a RAID configuration? Is it good for anything ofther then knowing you have a backup in case one fails? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CmpFreak88 Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 Putting hard drives in Raid 0 theoretically doubles read and write speeds. Other forms of Raid have other benefits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemo Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 i thought that in a raid config, if one drive dies, then both are poop In a RAID 0 confoguration, if one drive dies, your data is lost, not both drives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP24 Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 i thought that in a raid config, if one drive dies, then both are poop If one dies, get another. The perf benefit is well worth the risk. You can always do a RAID 0+1 so you don't lose data. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
