stephthegeek · 03-04-2007, 11:42 AM

RAID1 in mine, two 320GB drives. I sleep better at night

SilentKnight · 03-04-2007, 12:04 PM

Yep - running a Raid for my two western digital drives.

dready · 03-04-2007, 12:10 PM

RAID is sexxxy... still need to do backups though.

sandman! · 03-04-2007, 12:12 PM

i used to run raid 0 on my desktop

DatingGold · 03-04-2007, 02:26 PM

i do in both my work and home computer.

lorine · 03-04-2007, 11:45 PM

I use Raid in my desktop. 2x320 GB Western Digital,the speed transfer is about 50mb/s !

AlmightyZeus · 03-05-2007, 01:42 AM

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.

rounders · 03-05-2007, 02:28 AM

been wanting to get one but havent yet!

fuzzylogic · 03-05-2007, 02:41 AM

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.

abshard · 03-05-2007, 03:53 AM

raid 10 4x72 gig raptors

rowan · 03-05-2007, 05:15 AM

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.

Is that due to manufacturing or environment? The 4 drives in my main array are from 3 different factories, and the backup array uses a different brand of drive.

Yes, all drives will eventually fail, and RAID0 increases the chance of losing your data... but then you restore from backup. We all do backups, right?

Bigfuck · 03-05-2007, 05:42 AM

We are planning on getting a NAS server running raid 1 or 5 and store all
workstuff on it and only have the programs installed on the workstations

3x200 RAID 5 on my desktop with a 4th drive as a hot spare...

_Rush_ · 03-05-2007, 06:46 AM

RAID 1 here

Gaybucks · 03-05-2007, 06:58 AM

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.
