raid
 

does anyone run raid on their personal computers, how much fast is it, noticable? i have two 100gig 10000 rpms i just bought. i have two computers, was thinking about raiding em together in one computer.

it depends on your scsi card and if you're going to setup raid 0, 1, or 5.

I would not raid your personal computer, you wont see that much of a performance gain for surfing gfy etc. Unless you do some serious movie/graphics editing not galleries etc. then it might be worth it, otherwise dont bother.

i have a 100gb raid on my personal system simply for security... if my data drive crashes, i have a backup :)

raid makes my computer stick but it does kill the bugs...
:Graucho

I would just setup something to do daily backups becuase if you have a virus data on both drives will be fucked.

fiercehost that has to be the most annoying sig i've seen in a while...

I tried it a couple of computers ago..and it was nothing but problems..went through 3 different motherboards to even get it to work..

no way, cdsmith's is much gayer

raid isnt to protect against virus, mcaffee does that.
