Title: What RAID ARRAY are you running in? Post by: pekv2 on April 23, 2014, 10:45:26 AM Mine atm.
INTEL RAID ARRAY VOLUME0 Intel raid1 from the Z75 chipset @ 250GB HDD0: Drive Model: Hitachi HTS545025B9A300 5400 RPM Drive Capacity: 238,475 MBytes (250 GB) HDD1: Drive Model: TOSHIBA MQ01ABD075 5400 RPM Drive Capacity: 715,404 MBytes (750 GB) Raid card is in a PCIe 2.0 x16 slot @ full x16, not 8,4 or 2 but runs at the full x16 bandwidth. MARVELL Raid VD HYPERDUO VOLUME1 Vantec UGT-ST644R with HyperDuo, Marvell 88SE9230 SATA 6Gb/s Controller HyperDuo Array: HDD0: Maxtor 158gig SSD0: vertex 55.5 Hyperduoe puts it at roughly around 213 GB. Future will be two samsung evo's or pros in raid0 placing my hyperduo. for system. Possibly 4 hdd's raid 1+0 but soon Two WD Re WD1003FBYZ 1TB in raid 1 replacing my volume0 as storage. <Can't wait to start vid recording my game play. Raid is fun and easy. Title: Re: What RAID ARRAY are you running in? Post by: bitgeek on April 23, 2014, 11:01:43 AM Why use RAID? What do you really gain by it? You need 2 drives, to store the same information, it's faster but if one drive fails you lose everything. Why not just buy 1 fast SSD?

What do you really gain by it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID_0#RAID_1 More info to fill your mind :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID I will be using two SSD's in raid 0 soon, and two hdd's in raid 1 for recording & storage. Edit: Basically, raid zero can become faulty, but this is what image cloning is for aka backup of your raid 0. Raid 1 with two drives or more = mirrored, if one hdd fails, the storage will be on the second or more hdd. = prevent loss of data. Also you may break up the raid1 and have two or more hdds with identical information, you should be pretty much clear on this now :). Title: Re: What RAID ARRAY are you running in? Post by: kuroman on April 23, 2014, 11:26:49 AM going raid 0 is pretty risky, trow an HDD in your setup and go with a raid 10 so you have alway a back when one of your SSDs fails

I am guessing throw. A mis type. Edit: Yes, as per explained in above, I want to go raid 1+0 aka raid 10 but you need 4 drives or more. Title: Re: What RAID ARRAY are you running in? Post by: pekv2 on April 23, 2014, 11:39:54 AM Ohh, i thought i read some where u need at least 4 drives for raid 10.
I guess you need at least 2. To implement RAID 10 you need at least two physical hard drives; just using two partitions on the same hard drive is inadequate. You also need a disk controller that understands RAID. I might replace my raid1 with raid 10. Oh it does require 4 or more disks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_RAID_levels#RAID_1.2B0 Windows needs 4 disks. Linux needs 2 disks. For raid 10. interesting :S http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/imsm/sb/CS-009337.htm#raid10 Title: Re: What RAID ARRAY are you running in?
