General Hardware / Re: RAID 0 or RAID 1?

« on: December 13, 2004, 01:59:31 PM »

Thanks for the info guys.  That's the best article on RAID  have read so far Seeker, thanks!  

Is there a way to divide or classify some data as RAID 0 material and other data as RAID 1 or plain data?

Reason being is that some data (such as games etc) would be great to have striped for loading levels etc.  But I also have some other data such a webpage material / photos that I would be pretty upset about if I lost it.  

Of course, some sort of external backup is probably the best way to go; however, I won't be doing this every day, so could I define how I want different data to be stored?

I'm not sure if this is posisble or not...is it?

Thanks!

General Hardware / RAID 0 or RAID 1?

« on: December 11, 2004, 07:49:06 PM »

I will be getting 2 x 200GB HDs with a new system and plan on running them in a RAID format.  However, I'm not sure if I want to use a RAID 0 or a RAID 1.  I am aware of the advantages and disadvantages of each, but I'm curious to know what others think and your personal experiences with either method.

Specifically, do you think increased performance of the RAID 0 is worth the risk?

And, how much performance increase have you gotten from a RAID 1?

Thanks!

P.S.  Zeus, I see you run a RAID 0....how do you find it?  Any problems?

Dear Team DC,

GOLIATH has a well-known fear of loud explosions and gunfire.  During these stressful times, he finds comfort in his pet camel "humpy", and has been known to sit on him for hours at a time.  

Should you notice that GOLIATH is MIA, please check the camel shed before launching a rescue mission.  

Thank you.

Sincerely,
GOLIATH's best buddy,
CodeBlue

Yup, sign me up.  I'm a decent chopper pilot if you need one.

Yeah you got it.  It turned out better than I thought because you can see all the way back to the outtake fans when you look in the front.  Goliath was able to trim the plexi down so that we could tension fit it into the space...not a drop of glue needed!

Greetings all, do I get a prize for being the 100th member?  Hehe, kidding.

Here's my first case mod.  Big thanks to Goliath for doing all the metalwork and getting me hooked on modding (well, thanks for the metalwork anyway...).
