                                              If you're going to go with raid 0 make sure the drives are first-rate like the western digital raptors (totally worth the extra coin). If you're running raid0 on a work computer you're asking for trouble.

                                                      have been using raid5 for several years. however, recent studies have shown harddrives fail in groups. so the best way to preserve data is to spread it over several different machines.

                                                      i plan on adopting that concept and putting it to practice soon.

                                                              I have two arrays in my PC...

                                                              RAID10: 600Gb, 4 x 300Gb Seagate SATA (redundant)
                                                              RAID0: 640Gb, 2 x 320Gb WD SATA (non redundant)

                                                              The non redundant array is used to store backups as well as scratch data. I have another 500Gb SATA drive in a removable carrier that also stores a copy of backups.

                                                                                      We run a large hardware RAID-5 (2TB) for all of our video files, three software RAID-5s (Buffalo Terastations) for our still archives and crucial business files, and single drives on the individual workstations, which generally don't have anything crucial on them.

                                                                                      The machines that do video editing and rendering are all connected to the hardware RAID 5 by a gigabit network, so there's very little speed degradation from having the drives on a different machine than there would be having them on the local workstation.
