Title: RAIDin' up Post by: rip|buzinator on June 05, 2008, 06:51:18 PM this is mostly directed at jackal ... yo, i added that drive i got as a 2nd one and am in the process of building the raid-0 array.
i installed the intel matrix utility and it's migrating me to a raid 0 while booted from the original single disk, lmao. should be interesting to see if it works.

it gave me a 2nd hard drive's worth of unallocated space which i merged into the primary partition with partition magic...phat. Title: RAIDin' up Post by: rip|w33dy on June 05, 2008, 09:42:00 PM O.O dude.....that is so fucking awsome. although i need to ask. WTF are you going to use all that space for? isn't it unstable for storage of important stuff? or did they fix that w/the new raptor series?

RAID-0 provides speed, whatever type of drives you use ... although it really should just be called AID-0 cuz there's no Redundancy about it. But it's as stable as any single disk setup. For failure protection go with RAID-1 or 5. I have my important stuff backed up to another PC and an external hard disk. |
