RE: RAID0 question
RAID 0 is not worth the effort. You will see a slight improvemant in
read/write speeds. All it does is stripe everything over 2 or more Disks.
What that means is that you have part of a file on one drive and part of the
same file on another. In case of one drive failing, you have lost the lot.
RAID 1 is better, as it makes a mirror copy of everything that is one the
first Disk. The complete file is written to the one place, and a copy made to
the other drive.
