What RAID ARRAY are you running in?

[pekv2]

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.

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?

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 .

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

What is trow? 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.

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.

Windows needs 4 disks. Linux needs 2 disks. For raid 10. interesting :S

Yup, getting 4 drives on windows is non issue, instead of going with 2TB HDD for example just got with 2x1TB and with your 2x SDD that's 4 RAID 10 , the advantages of both worlds and no drawbacks

(also yes it's a type I meant throw in)
