[FalconFX]

Well now heres something i really dont know anymore

Yesterday i thought RAID 1 is the fast RAID system but then a friend of mine came by and said "no its RAID 0".

So wich one is the fast one ?

It's RAID 0.

RAID 0 is blistering

hi mate,

Raid 0 is when you take 2 hard drives and stripe them together so that the appear as one, this almost doubles your performance effectively.

ive just ordered 2 raptors and im going to do it as well

No, it doesn't nearly double your performance. But it definately gives you a slight edge over a non raid setup.

RAID 0 is not technically RAID because it does not have any redundancy. RAID 0 is basically a RAID setup that employs the striping mentioned in the above posts.

This setup requires at least two hard drives to be configured into a "striped set". RAID 0 is becoming popular with gamers because it has higher read/write speeds than normal and will really help to speed up a computer. People who are into raw speed for gaming, multimedia, etc, will reap the benifits of RAID 0. But, because it lacks the redundancy factor, it is not used in mission-critical environments. If one drive of the RAID 0 array dies, the whole array is screwed.

Raid 1 is mirrored and will protect data but is much slower than RAID 0

hope this helps

Reps to succuba for taking the time to reply with the detailed explaination of RAID 0. Thanks mate!
