Learn what it is, and quit throwing around terms you think will make you look cooler.

If all he did was SLAVE a hard drive to another hard drive then that sure as fuck isnt raid.

It's called slaving a hard drive. Using a promise card to slave a hard drive is still slaving a hard drive.

"Raid" is the striping or mirriroring of a hard drive.

Hence you have 250 gigs of storage, adding another 250 gigs with Raid0-10 would still only give you 250 gigs of storage with a 250 gig mirrored backup.

WTF do you think raid is man.

Good thing you guys don't run any webhosting.

You feeling ok? RAID0 stripes over two or more drives. It does not provide any redundancy, so the total space is the sum of the drives.

If any of the drives fail then the entire array is toast. You cannot recover meaningful data when sector 1 of the array is on the first physical drive, and sector 2 is on the second physical drive...

They also have 1.6 terabtye ones as well. And 500gig ones that are a lot cheaper
