Thinking about setting up a raid 0

[N92]

Hey guys I am curious as to the benefits of using a raid 0 setup?
as you can see my computer specs in my signature the only difference is that I just pulled my external drive out of the case and placed it in my computer as my second 500gb drive if I use a raid 0 setup.

so again what advantages are there when using a raid 0?
Or should I even think of setting one up?


Thanks.

I will Advice you to wait for 2.6 with the raid 0 , Danylhad very hard time on this issue.
2.6 will support the raid 0 batter then 2.5.
so it is not so far right?
the process can Drive you....
2.6 will make your life easier on this issue.

What kind of advantages are there when using a raid 0?


Thanks again

Hello N92.

I'm on the test of 2.6 at this time - and write to you from the 2.6.
I can say that the raid 0 is solve here.
And to make just fast Answer to your Question,
I will take the server as example, you need to have on the server 3 HDD to get the raid 0 to work.
now the trix here is on any one of the HDD you have 1/3 of the Data.
Now,if 1 HDD will fail,then the other 2 HDD's has the Data to get the 1 HDD Data back and fix him.
this is the big picture of the raid 0 in the way he works.
kind of fully Backup for the Data , and very smart Recover on the process of the Build back things.
This is on the big picture.

Thanks again Admin-Amir!

yes you can SLI these two cards. you need a special motherboard for this. its called fusion technology. MSI was the first to come out with it, i believe 2 months back. the only problem is that the GTX 580 is going to be severly underclocked to match the GTX 275, so it may not be worth getting, its just like having GTX 275 SLI. but yes it is possible to match different Graphics Cards in SLI. This also leaves open the option to get a unimaginable SLI/Crossfire mode of GTX 580 and Radeon HD 5970...yes i said it...it is possible to match these two AMAZING CARDS.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with the topic of this thread which is RAID 0 and I'm tempted to delete it.
Please stay on topic.

To effectively use RAID you have to spend a little time to test and demonstrate how your system works and how it handles failures. For example, if you have a disk fail and it needs changing, how do you know which one to replace it?
When you consider that the RAID can not replace a proper backup, and the fact that the consumer class readers are more likely to have resulted in pronounced dead (because it supports time-limited error recovery also known as "TLER), I think it might be better with all the individual units.
