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?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID_0#RAID_1

More info to fill your mind Smiley

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 Smiley.

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.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_RAID_levels#RAID_1.2B0

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)
