gaara said:A RAID 0 is unreliable based on the fact that if one hard drive fails, the data on both drives becomes unusable. In reality, a RAID 0 isn't really a true RAID array as it is not fault tolerant.
The chances of a hard drive failing are unpredictable, but a RAID 0 isn't totally unreliable.
Codeine said:The only reason people claim Raid0 is dangerous, is because what will happen if your drive fails. I have dual 36GB WD Raptors running on Raid0.. My friend has the samething, but dual 74GB.
Dual WD Raptors with 10000rpm serial sata owns. Serial SATA is 150, but my system runs at 183. This summer i will be getting another 2 WD Raptors for my new system. That should beat a none Raid0 SCSI drive.
